Etching, aquatint and polychrome carborundum - Plate size: 66 x 57.5 cm.; Artwork size: 83 x 69 cm. - Perfect condition - Cataloging number: 711. Listed on page 29 of Tàpies. graphic work. 1979-1986. Erker-Verlag, 2002. // 2 Estisores-2 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1979, is a striking mixed-media work combining etching, aquatint, and polychrome carborundum. This piece, part of a limited edition of 75 copies with additional H.C. (hors commerce) and P.A. (artist proofs), demonstrates Tàpies' characteristic layering and symbolic motifs. The composition features a scissor icon prominently placed in the center, set against muted, earthy tones with deep red and black overlays. The textured background, combined with abstract symbols and numbers, invites contemplation on the themes of division, transformation, and perhaps restraint. Tàpies' use of mixed media brings a tactile quality to the piece, emphasizing his philosophical approach to materials and symbols. This artwork is documented in his catalog raisonné, attesting to its significance within his oeuvre.

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.
