// Antoni Tàpies' etching Orella (1971) is a minimalist exploration of human perception, symbolized through a prominent ear in the center of the composition. A dotted, broken line stretches horizontally across the artwork, connecting a dark, scribbled form on the left to an isolated mark on the right. The ear, rendered with subtle texture, seems to absorb and interpret this ambiguous line, suggesting themes of listening, interpretation, and communication. The juxtaposition of the chaotic scribble with the ear may symbolize the human capacity to find meaning within disorder. Tàpies' work often invites contemplation on everyday objects as symbols, transforming the ear into a profound element of sensory experience and awareness.

What is Tachisme?
Tachisme is a French abstract painting style that gained popularity between 1940 and 1950, often seen as the European counterpart to Abstract Expressionism. However, there are stylistic differences between the two. Tachisme, which emerged from Art Informel, rejected geometric abstraction in favor of more intuitive and spontaneous expression. It was a reaction against the structured forms of Cubism and is closely related to Informalism. Tachisme emphasizes gestural brushwork, irregular forms, and a focus on the process of painting itself.
