Etching and aquatint, hand signed by the author. // Argi V by Eduardo Chillida, produced in 1988, is a minimalist etching and aquatint that explores space, balance, and light through geometric abstraction. The composition features a few sparse black forms that disrupt the stark white background, each with irregular placement that creates a sense of tension and openness. These elongated, dark shapes appear like markings or fragments, positioned carefully to establish a visual rhythm across the paper. Chillida’s mastery of negative space is evident, drawing the viewer’s focus to the contrast between form and emptiness. Argi, meaning light in Basque, reflects Chillida’s intent to explore light’s interaction with form and void, conveying profound simplicity and contemplative elegance.

What is Art Informel?
Art Informel is a French term referring to the gestural and improvisational techniques common in abstract painting during the 1940s and 50s. It encompasses various styles that dominated these decades, characterized by informal, spontaneous methods. Artists used this term to describe approaches that moved away from traditional structures and embraced more expressive, unstructured techniques.
