Apparicions-6 (1982) by Antoni Tàpies is an evocative etching that embodies his signature exploration of materiality, mysticism, and abstraction. The central form, resembling a textured silhouette or garment-like figure, is rendered in earthy brown tones with rough, torn edges. Below it, a flurry of blue linear strokes evokes waves or currents, while scattered marks and a small red shape suggest transient presences or apparitions. The minimal yet symbolic elements imbue the composition with a quiet metaphysical tension. Created in an edition of 99, this work continues Tàpies’ meditation on the traces of the human spirit within abstract form.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
