Thanks for the Appel, Mr Karel

My first tribute to one of my favourite artists, Karel Appel (1921-2006).

Like me, Karel Appel paints in a very intense and active manner, attacking the canvas with full emotion.

This piece is inspired by some of his works including: Amorous Dance, Face in a Landscape, Two Figures, and some untitled works including the piece in the video I posted.

“Painting, like passion, is an emotion full of truth and rings a living sound, like the roar coming from the lion’s breast,” Karel Appel.

Thanks to the music of David Bowie, Marc Bolan and Boston.
