Graphic work. 1973-1978. Editorial Gustavo Gili. 1980. // A Damunt Vermell 1 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1976, is a limited edition etching featuring flocking and relief, produced in an edition of 90. This piece is dominated by a rich, textured field of deep red, bordered by darker, earthy tones. Simple, scratched lines and the prominent letter A are etched onto the red surface, giving the artwork a raw, visceral quality. The etched lines are minimal but deliberate, evoking a sense of spontaneity and intensity. The use of flocking adds a tactile dimension to the piece, enhancing the materiality of the colors and forms. Tàpies’ approach creates a meditative space where texture and simplicity interact, inviting viewers to contemplate the power of color and form as carriers of expression and meaning.

What is matter painting?
Matter painting is a technique that involves blending thick impasto paints with materials like cement, mud, sand, or shells. The term first emerged in the 1950s to describe the works of Belgian and Dutch painters who explored the physical properties of painting materials and the different ways paint could be manipulated. This approach emphasizes texture and the tactile qualities of the surface, creating a sculptural effect on the canvas.
