// 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 automatism?
Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
