// Como el Viento by Karel Appel, created in 1988, is an expressive etching and aquatint that embodies movement and energy, much like the title suggests, translating to Like the Wind. The composition features a series of abstract, gestural lines and shapes in bold black, orange, and hints of red, set against a light pink background. The chaotic, sweeping lines suggest figures or forms in motion, capturing a fleeting moment with a sense of spontaneity and fluidity. Appel, a founding member of the COBRA movement, is known for his raw, emotive style, and in this piece, he conveys a sense of freedom and intensity, reminiscent of wind’s unpredictable path. Measuring 76 cm by 55 cm, this limited edition print invites viewers to interpret its forms, evoking themes of vitality, nature’s force, and dynamic movement.

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.
