'I never try to make a painting, but a chunk of life.'- Karel Appel

Karel Appel (1921–2006) was a renowned Dutch artist known as a leading founder of the experimental CoBrA movement. His work is characterized by raw, energetic, 'childlike' forms, bright colors, and impulsive, thick application of paint, emphasizing spontaneous expression over traditional technique.

Big Chief is an original, 100% handmade painting and comes with a hand signed Certificate of Authenticity. The painting is signed on the front and back.

Shipping takes about two weeks no matter where you live in the world. You'll receive your painting safely packaged and ready to install immediately.

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
