Book, resin, lithographic pencil and methacrylate // Formes d’escriure (I) by Jordi Alcaraz, created in 2022, is a mixed media artwork that uses an inventive blend of book pages, resin, lithographic pencil, and methacrylate to explore themes of language, abstraction, and materiality. Set within a wooden frame, the piece features a book-like object partially obscured by black resin that drips downward, creating a sense of distortion and fluidity. Above, a single thin black line contrasts with the organic flow below, suggesting a minimalist approach to the act of writing or mark-making. Alcaraz’s work often questions traditional boundaries of writing and form, here invoking a tactile and conceptual experience that is both enigmatic and evocative.

What is Spatialism?
Spatialism is an art movement that originated in Italy in 1947, founded by Lucio Fontana with the intention of synthesizing sound, color, movement, and space into a new form of art. The movement's central ideas were outlined in Fontana's first manifesto, published in 1947, where he introduced the concept of spatial art to capture the spirit of the post-war era. His ideas were further developed in five subsequent manifestos. Although Fontana's ideas were sometimes considered vague, his influence was significant, as he was one of the first European artists to emphasize art as a performance and gesture.
