Etching and carborundum; 99 copies; Artwork size: 56 X 76 cm.; Perfect condition // El Dit by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1987, is a compelling mixed-media work that combines etching and carborundum. This piece, produced in an edition of 99, embodies Tàpies' fascination with texture, symbolism, and earthy tones. Dominated by a muted palette of browns and blacks, the artwork features bold, chalky white lines forming symbols and abstract shapes. A prominent arrow-like figure and cross symbol lead the eye across the canvas, while various marks and textured areas contribute a layered, almost geological quality. The rugged texture and cryptic markings evoke themes of mysticism and ancient inscriptions, inviting viewers to decode its meaning. El Dit demonstrates Tàpies' unique ability to merge physical materiality with philosophical inquiry.

What is automatism?
Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
