// 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 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.
