Inspired by pop art and tribal designs

Karel Appel (1921-2006) was a Dutch artist and one of the founding members of the CoBrA art movement in the late 1940s. His art is known for its energetic and expressive style, often characterized by bold brushstrokes, bright colors, and childlike forms.

Appel's early work was influenced by primitive art and the art of children, which he believed had a directness and immediacy that was lacking in traditional Western art. He often used thick layers of paint and strong, gestural brushstrokes to create dynamic, spontaneous compositions. His use of color was also an important aspect of his art, and he often employed bright, contrasting colors to create a sense of tension and vibrancy.

In addition to painting, Appel also worked in sculpture, printmaking, and ceramics. His later works often incorporated abstract elements and more complex compositions, while still retaining his signature style of bold colors and expressive brushwork.
