ABOUT ANTONI TAPIES

Antoni Tàpies

Antoni Tàpies, born in Barcelona in 1923, is one of the most important European abstract artists of the twentieth century. The oeuvre of the self-taught artist consists of drawings, paintings, installations, collages, lithographs and other graphic work. Throughout his life, Tàpies has worked in different styles: from figurative and surreal to abstract. Tàpies has become known with his expressive material painting. In his work the research and experiment with materials is central. It is not the outcome, but the process - the investigation of matter - that matters. Tàpies applied varnish to a cloth and covered it with non-usual materials, such as marble, plaster, wood, iron wire, dust or sand. He did this to bring the artwork as close as possible to reality - the earth. Although the works are abstract, the spectator can always find something concrete in the art of Tàpies. The artist considered it important that there is something in the work that is directly related to life, an image, idea or suggestion.
