The artwork, titled “Negre i roig V: A damunt vermell,” was created by Antoni Tapies in 1976 and belongs to the Art Informel movement. This abstract piece features a vivid exploration in red, characteristic of Tapies’ use of color and texture to convey emotion and depth.
The artwork predominantly consists of a rich, deep red hue, imbued with expressive, almost calligraphic white lines etched into the surface. The composition is marked by intense, broad strokes and layered with varied red tones that create a sense of depth and dynamism. The intensity of the red contrasts sharply with the sporadic white marks, evoking a sense of tension and movement. The abstract nature of the piece invites viewers to interpret the emotions and themes conveyed through the complex interplay of color and form.
