Aquatint, resin and carborundum - Size of the image: 70 X 93 cm - Size of the paper: 78 X 106.5 cm - Edited by Galería Lelong, Paris - Printed by J. Barbará, Barcelon - Catalogue pg. 82 . Tápies obra gráfica 1979-1986 // Antoni Tàpies' Pont (1981) is a striking mixed media print combining aquatint, resin, and carborundum on paper. Measuring 78 x 106.5 cm, the piece features bold red tones that dominate the composition, with heavy, textured forms. A thick, rectangular red arch or bridge structure seems to frame the central area, while black, chaotic scribbles and a wavy line contrast sharply against the smooth red background. The piece blends gestural abstraction with textured surfaces, a hallmark of Tàpies' exploration of materiality and spirituality. Published by Galería Lelong in Paris and printed by J. Barbarà in Barcelona, this work exemplifies Tàpies' deep connection to the physical and metaphysical, using layered textures to evoke a sense of depth and emotion.

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.
