// Flying Head Over Ocean by Karel Appel, a limited edition lithograph, immerses viewers in a vibrant and tumultuous scene. The artwork depicts an abstract, disembodied head soaring over an oceanic landscape, rendered through bold strokes and a palette of blues, greens, reds, and whites. The sweeping brushstrokes evoke the fluidity and movement of water, while the head's exaggerated and distorted features lend a surreal, dreamlike quality. Appel’s expressionistic style, characterized by intense color contrasts and energetic forms, transforms this piece into a dynamic interplay of emotion and abstraction, capturing a sense of freedom and chaos.

What is Art Informel?
Art Informel is a French term referring to the gestural and improvisational techniques common in abstract painting during the 1940s and 50s. It encompasses various styles that dominated these decades, characterized by informal, spontaneous methods. Artists used this term to describe approaches that moved away from traditional structures and embraced more expressive, unstructured techniques.
