Etching and carborundum; Perfect condition // Perfil by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1987, is a mixed-media piece that combines etching and carborundum. Limited to 99 signed copies, this artwork features a dynamic interplay of bold black lines, brushstrokes, and abstract forms set against a textured, shadowed background that fades to light at the center. The composition includes gestural marks and scribbles, along with a small golden-brown shape that adds a subtle focal point amidst the dark, atmospheric palette. The central shapes appear almost like figures or silhouettes, blending abstract expression with a hint of figuration. Tàpies' use of shadowing and layered textures enhances the piece’s depth, inviting viewers to explore themes of presence and absence, as well as the power of form in space.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
