Antoni Tàpies


Birthday: 1923 in Barcelona
Antoni Tàpies
Antoni Tàpies, born 1923 in Barcelona, founded in 1948 together with the Catalan poet Joan Brossa and some other artists the group "Dau al set" (cube with seven). By that time, he was influenced by surrealism. In 1954, Tàpies finally found his typical style by finishing his first material paintings, mixing oil with soil, glue and marble powder. These works, also called wall paintings, are painted objects more than usual paintings, defined by compactness and tactility. Concerning the language of the material and the canon of motifs Tàpies kept the style of the wall paintings similar until the early eighties.
 
The darkness and the silence of his works is corresponding to Tàpies interest in hermetic philosophy and mediaeval mystic. The aura of a painting is most important; it is meant to be an object of meditation. The rejection of color leads towards that kind of darkness, which is the light - in the same way as, in the opinion of mysticism, there is the Absolute, which is the total Void.
