Etching, aquatint and polychrome carborundum - Plate size: 66 x 57.5 cm.; Artwork size: 83 x 69 cm. - Perfect condition - Cataloging number: 711. Listed on page 29 of Tàpies. graphic work. 1979-1986. Erker-Verlag, 2002. // 2 Estisores-2 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1979, is a striking mixed-media work combining etching, aquatint, and polychrome carborundum. This piece, part of a limited edition of 75 copies with additional H.C. (hors commerce) and P.A. (artist proofs), demonstrates Tàpies' characteristic layering and symbolic motifs. The composition features a scissor icon prominently placed in the center, set against muted, earthy tones with deep red and black overlays. The textured background, combined with abstract symbols and numbers, invites contemplation on the themes of division, transformation, and perhaps restraint. Tàpies' use of mixed media brings a tactile quality to the piece, emphasizing his philosophical approach to materials and symbols. This artwork is documented in his catalog raisonné, attesting to its significance within his oeuvre.

What is automatism?
Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
