Color etching and aquatint with carborundum // Roig I Negre 2 by Antoni Tàpies, created in 1985, is a powerful mixed media work combining color etching, aquatint, and carborundum. The piece, part of a limited edition of 99 plus 15 artist’s proofs (HC), showcases Tàpies' signature abstract expressionist style. The composition features bold black and red gestural forms that dominate the space, layered over a textured, rough background. The swirling and sharp brushstrokes create a dynamic contrast between the deep black and earthy red, evoking a sense of movement and energy. The carborundum technique enhances the texture, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality, characteristic of Tàpies' work. The piece reflects his interest in materiality and the physicality of the painting process, transforming simple colors into a rich and evocative visual experience.

What is Tachisme?
Artwork by Sam Francis

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.
