Lithograph on paper // Antoni Tàpies’s Untitled (Abstract Symbol) (1985) is a powerful lithograph that blends gestural abstraction with symbolic forms. Dominated by a bold black shape resembling a cross and circle, the composition is energized by expressive strokes of deep red and scribbled gray markings. The layered textures and spontaneous lines suggest themes of materiality, transformation, and the interplay between chaos and structure. Tàpies’s use of earthy tones and abstract forms reflects his interest in spirituality and the transcendental, imbuing the work with a sense of mystery. Measuring 100 x 70 cm, this limited-edition print exemplifies Tàpies’s distinctive approach to exploring symbols and textures through modernist abstraction.

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.
