Color etching and aquatint with carborundum - Signed in pencil - Literature: Galfetti / Homs, 1122 // Antoni Tàpies’s Forma Ombrejada (1987) is a powerful example of his use of abstract forms and texture through the techniques of etching, aquatint, and carborundum. The composition features dark, shadow-like shapes combined with bold black strokes and areas of rich, deep red. The rough, textured elements create a sense of depth and tactile intensity, evoking the raw, expressive quality typical of Tàpies’s work. The contrast between the sharp black markings and the soft, shaded areas enhances the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The piece is signed in pencil and is part of a limited edition of 99. This print exemplifies Tàpies’s mastery in creating abstract compositions that challenge the viewer’s perception and invite contemplation on materiality and space.

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.
