PETRIFICADA PETRIFICANTE II 1978 - Antoni Tàpies Brushed Aluminum Print
Elevate your space with PETRIFICADA PETRIFICANTE II, a 1978 masterpiece by Catalan artist Antoni Tàpies, now available as a museum-quality reproduction on premium brushed aluminum. This iconic work exemplifies Tàpies' pioneering materia painting technique, where he transformed humble materials—sand, marble dust, and found objects—into profound meditations on memory, decay, and spiritual transcendence. The title, translating to "Petrified Petrifying," evokes a powerful duality: the frozen stillness of stone contrasted with an active, almost menacing presence, reflecting Tàpies' exploration of post-war existential themes.
RedKalion's archival-grade print captures every nuanced texture and gestural mark of the original, rendered on 3mm thick brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND® with a horizontal grain that enhances the artwork's dynamic, tactile quality. The direct print process ensures vivid, lasting colors with a matte, glare-free finish, while unprinted areas reveal a striking metallic silver effect—perfect for this black-and-white composition. Measuring 70x100 cm (28x40 inches), this piece arrives ready to display with an included hanging kit, offering a contemporary, durable presentation that honors Tàpies' material genius.
As a leading figure in Art Informel, Tàpies rejected traditional representation in favor of abstract, textured surfaces that invite contemplation. This print not only brings his visionary aesthetic into your home but does so with the archival integrity and curatorial precision that define RedKalion. Invest in a reproduction that bridges historical significance with modern durability, crafted to endure as a focal point of sophistication and depth.
