Listed on page 30 of Tàpies. graphic work.1979-1986. Erker-Verlag, 2002. // Creu Deformada 1 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1979, is a mixed-media work combining aquatint and polychrome carborundum with textured relief. Limited to 95 signed and numbered copies, this piece presents a minimalistic yet powerful composition featuring a dark, cross-like shape on a gray background with rugged edges. The cross appears distorted and abstract, adding a sense of organic movement to the otherwise stark form. A faint red circular mark adjacent to the cross introduces a subtle contrast, hinting at mystery or symbolism. The textured surface enhances the tactile quality of the piece, inviting viewers to explore the depth and materiality of Tàpies' technique. Listed in the artist’s catalog raisonné, Creu Deformada 1 reflects Tàpies' exploration of abstract symbols and his focus on texture as a medium of expression.

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.
