Lithograph, signed by hand, numbered // Antoni Tàpies’ Cannage, a lithograph from 1984, presents a hauntingly abstract composition that merges texture with ephemeral forms. The piece is dominated by a soft, smoky haze that envelops the surface, with minimalistic, almost calligraphic lines sketched across it. On the left, a faint grid pattern emerges, resembling woven cane or mesh, evoking the title “Cannage.” This pattern contrasts sharply with the organic shapes on the right, creating a sense of duality between structure and fluidity. The restrained color palette emphasizes Tàpies' interest in texture and materiality, reflecting his exploration of the physical and the transient. Hand-signed and numbered, this print encapsulates Tàpies' fascination with the tactile and the ambiguous.

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.
