Color etching and aquatint with carborundum // Roig I Negre 2 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1985, is a powerful mixed media work combining color etching, aquatint, and carborundum. The piece, part of a limited edition of 99 plus 15 artist’s proofs (HC), showcases Tàpies' signature abstract expressionist style. The composition features bold black and red gestural forms that dominate the space, layered over a textured, rough background. The swirling and sharp brushstrokes create a dynamic contrast between the deep black and earthy red, evoking a sense of movement and energy. The carborundum technique enhances the texture, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality, characteristic of Tàpies' work. The piece reflects his interest in materiality and the physicality of the painting process, transforming simple colors into a rich and evocative visual experience.

What is abstract art?
Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
