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 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.
