's last Tàpies exhibited in London Waddington Galleries
shows the recent work of Catalan artist
WADDINGTON GALLERIES
11 Cork Street London (United Kingdom)
Sixteen paintings representing the latest work of Antoni Tàpies and willing in order of size from the small wooden panel to the monumental vermell Oval Country d 'Avatamsaka, make this exhibition we can see in the Waddington Galleries in London until 29 March.
The show aims to demonstrate the influence of the wall, as a concept and image, in the work of Tàpies; whose last name translated in Catalan, also a wall. Since the mid-fifties in Paris discovered the photographs of graffiti-covered walls by Brassai, they have become, for the painter from Barcelona, \u200b\u200ba symbol of spiritual loneliness or political repression, the passage of time or inward contemplation, acquiring deeper meanings. Tàpies strokes that prints of his works often resemble graffiti lining the walls of our cities in the West or Eastern calligraphy. The black T capitalized recurrently used also has many connotations: to be beyond his initial name and first name of his first wife (Teresa), can act as a pictorial symbol of the cross, mathematical or geographical sign, referring to a kiss, a sign of faith, repentance in writing, or the particular alphabet used Blanquerna Ramon Llull.
This ambiguity of symbols in the Catalan artist is very apparent in one of the exhibited works, signs on the field, which covers the wood surface with quick notes that might be considered an equation, an inscription of an ancient text or a hieroglyph fragmented. The viewer is torn between wondering if these brands reflect the declaration included a lovers or anger of voices we do not.
