Wood engravings in colors with embossing, on Arches paper, // Circus Suite, No. 26 by Karel Appel is a vibrant etching and aquatint from 1978, part of a limited edition series of 130. The artwork features a stylized, playful depiction of a cat, bursting with energetic colors and expressive lines. Appel employs a striking palette of bold oranges, pinks, purples, and blues, which lend a whimsical, almost childlike quality to the figure. The cat’s exaggerated facial features and patterned body bring a lively character to the piece, evoking a sense of joyful spontaneity that aligns with Appel’s association with the CoBrA art movement. The embossed texture and dynamic use of color give the work a tactile, three-dimensional presence.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
