Painted Stone Relief -Hand signed and numbered by Appel // Karel Appel’s Floating Family (1976) is a vibrant painted stone relief that exemplifies his bold and expressive style. This circular work, hand-signed and numbered, features abstract, overlapping faces and forms that seem to emerge organically from the black background. Rendered in bright reds, blues, yellows, and greens, the figures appear interconnected, evoking a sense of unity within the chaos. The rough textures and layered shapes bring depth to the composition, creating a tactile quality that enhances its sculptural presence. Floating Family captures Appel's fascination with primal expression and the interconnectedness of human forms, transforming stone into an energetic and emotive celebration of family and togetherness.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
