Aparicions 3 1982 — Fine Art

Aparicions 3 1982 belongs to the material painting practice that Antoni Tapies developed in the late twentieth century. The surface shows earth tones and built up layers with traces of a hand applied process. Its title points to appearances that come and go, a theme he kept returning to.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame needs buying. The matte finish keeps the muted tones even under indoor light, which suits the layered look of the original.

It works on a bedroom wall beside a narrow desk. From the bed you notice the thickest marks first, and from the doorway the lighter ground holds the whole picture together.
