// Antoni Tàpies' etching Orella (1971) is a minimalist exploration of human perception, symbolized through a prominent ear in the center of the composition. A dotted, broken line stretches horizontally across the artwork, connecting a dark, scribbled form on the left to an isolated mark on the right. The ear, rendered with subtle texture, seems to absorb and interpret this ambiguous line, suggesting themes of listening, interpretation, and communication. The juxtaposition of the chaotic scribble with the ear may symbolize the human capacity to find meaning within disorder. Tàpies' work often invites contemplation on everyday objects as symbols, transforming the ear into a profound element of sensory experience and awareness.

What is Arte Povera?
A movement and style in art that originated in Italy during the 1960s. It integrates elements of minimalism, performance art, and conceptual art by using everyday or seemingly worthless materials, such as newspapers, stones, or rags. The goal was to challenge and subvert the commercialization of art.
