Etching / Carborundum // Antoni Tàpies' Roig i negre I, a limited edition etching with carborundum from 1985, showcases his signature abstract style. The composition features a powerful contrast between black and red, with bold, gestural marks that evoke a sense of movement and tension. White, symbolic forms and cryptic inscriptions float above the dark background, suggesting a layering of meaning and the artist's exploration of the subconscious mind. The use of carborundum adds texture and depth, enhancing the tactile quality of the work. This piece exemplifies Tàpies' fascination with materiality and his ability to transform simple forms into profound visual statements on existence, language, and identity.

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.
