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 Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
