// Graphismes et deux croix by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1972, is an abstract etching that exemplifies the artist’s exploration of texture, symbols, and gestural marks. The composition is dense with chaotic black lines, scratches, and crosshatchings, evoking a sense of intense energy or movement. Amidst this web of lines, two bold, black crosses stand out, adding a sense of weight and grounding to the frenetic background. The work’s raw, tactile quality is characteristic of Tàpies’ interest in materiality and symbolism, often interpreted as representations of spirituality, existential reflection, or resistance. This piece invites contemplation on the contrast between structure and disorder, presence and absence.

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.
