100 signed and numbered copies; Plate size: 53.5 x 68 cm. Artwork size: 73.5 x 90 cm. Perfect condition; Etching and aquatint, with acrylic by the artist and signed in pencil by the artist. // Flecha by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1990, is a powerful piece combining etching, aquatint, and acrylic. Limited to 100 signed and numbered copies, this artwork features a dark, layered composition where earthy tones of brown and black interplay with textured markings and abstract shapes. A prominent white arrow, or flecha, sweeps across the central area, drawing the viewer’s eye through the dense, collage-like space. This central symbol, along with gestural marks and scattered handprints, adds a dynamic, almost narrative quality to the piece, inviting interpretations of movement or direction. The artwork’s tactile quality and complex layering reflect Tàpies' exploration of symbolism and materiality, blending both primitive and modernist elements in a contemplative, enigmatic style.

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.
