Etching, aquatint and soft varnish. Arc i creu (1982) by Antoni Tàpies is a compelling etching and aquatint with soft varnish, where gestural abstraction meets symbolic intensity. A heavy black arc dominates the composition, intersected by a bold cross-like form, suggestive of metaphysical or spiritual resonance. The background features loose washes of ochre and ink, juxtaposed with finer linear markings. Tàpies' signature raw texture and expressive mark-making convey themes of matter, silence, and resistance. Produced in an edition of 99, this work exemplifies the Catalan artist’s unique fusion of material experimentation and meditative symbolism.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
