AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tapies created in 1983 the screen print Chaise et Ciseaux, a work that powerfully unites his characteristic visual language. The presentation is sober and direct: a chair and a pair of scissors, seemingly ordinary objects, but for Tàpies charged with symbolism and tension.
The rough texture and earthy tones give the work a tangible, almost physical presence. As is often the case in Tàpies’ oeuvre, objects function not as utilitarian items, but as signs—carriers of memory, the body, and impermanence. The chair can be read as a place of absence or waiting, while the scissors refer to intervention, separation, or vulnerability.
Chaise et Ciseaux is not an illustration, but an invitation to reflection. The work balances between simplicity and depth, and shows how Tàpies, with minimal means, can evoke maximum intensity. It is precisely that combination of matter, symbol, and silence that makes this screen print so beautiful and striking.
Dimensions without frame: 105 x 75 cm
