Etching / Carborundum // Antoni Tàpies' Roig i negre I, a limited edition etching with carborundum from 1985, showcases his signature abstract style. The composition features a powerful contrast between black and red, with bold, gestural marks that evoke a sense of movement and tension. White, symbolic forms and cryptic inscriptions float above the dark background, suggesting a layering of meaning and the artist's exploration of the subconscious mind. The use of carborundum adds texture and depth, enhancing the tactile quality of the work. This piece exemplifies Tàpies' fascination with materiality and his ability to transform simple forms into profound visual statements on existence, language, and identity.

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.
