Carborundum, Etching and Aquatint with relief on Guarro paper // Z by Antoni Tàpies is a limited edition mixed media print from 1979, produced with a combination of carborundum, etching, and aquatint on Guarro paper. This work showcases Tàpies’s signature style, incorporating texture, abstract forms, and symbolic imagery. The bold red Z at the center of the composition appears in high relief, standing out against a background of earthy, layered shapes and marks. The surrounding abstract elements include scribbles, shapes, and spontaneous gestures, creating a sense of raw energy and depth. This piece exemplifies Tàpies’s exploration of materiality and his interest in combining symbolic letters with complex textures to evoke meaning beyond the literal, inviting contemplation on language, form, and presence.

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.
