Etching; 90 signed and numbered copies. // Esgriafats Damunt Negre 2 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1976, is a limited edition etching with 90 signed and numbered copies. This artwork embodies Tàpies' signature exploration of texture, gesture, and abstraction. The composition features a dark central rectangle filled with scratched and scribbled markings, layered with symbols, letters, and abstract lines. The chaotic yet deliberate scrawls suggest a mixture of language, mathematical notations, and raw expression. A red stripe on the left side adds a touch of contrast and intrigue amidst the muted black, white, and gray palette. The work evokes a sense of mystery, as if the viewer is deciphering a forgotten code or exploring the remnants of thought etched onto a blackboard. Tàpies uses these layered marks to convey depth, inviting contemplation of the intersection between form, language, and abstraction.

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.
