Negre I Roig III Fora 1976 by Antoni Tapies — Fine Art

Negre I Roig III Fora 1976 by Antoni Tapies shows black and red marks on a rough ground. The shapes sit close together and leave room between them. Some areas look smeared, others look built up. The work comes from the material painting practice Antoni Tapies used in his later years.

This fine art print is made on matte paper so the black areas stay dull and do not shine under a lamp. A light frame on a dark wall lets the red marks stand out without drawing attention to the frame itself.

It hangs on a bedroom wall above a wooden chest. From the foot of the bed you see the dark shapes first, and the red sits quietly between them.
