Color etching and aquatint with carborundum // Primer Congreso Nacional de Neuropediatría by Antoni Tàpies is a color etching and aquatint with carborundum, created in 1982. This limited edition print exemplifies Tàpies' mastery in merging abstraction with material textures, characteristic of his signature style. The composition features bold black and red gestural forms against a muted background, creating a sense of movement and depth. The intertwining lines and textured layers suggest an exploration of organic and chaotic elements, possibly reflecting the complexities of the mind and neurological themes, fitting for its connection to a neuropediatrics congress. Tàpies often used earthy tones and expressive markings, which imbue the work with a tactile, almost sculptural quality. The inclusion of text and abstract symbols adds a layer of mystery, inviting viewers to interpret the piece beyond its immediate visual impact.

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.
