Antoni Tàpies-Dialogue with Objects

Antoni Tàpies is an important Spanish contemporary artist. As a master of material processing, he is also one of the earliest pioneers of using mixed materials to create works. In his creative attempts with different materials, he integrates his spiritual world and daily objects in life into rich creative expressions.
This book is designed for his solo exhibition in Shanghai, China. The designer divided his works into three volumes in white, yellow, and black tones. The box and cover materials were inspired by the artist and are all everyday objects: grey board, staples, cotton, white card, kraft paper, canvas, etc. The use of printing techniques such as emboss, UV, hand tearing, and hot stamping also echoes its creative methods. The books and works are integrated, jointly conveying the creative philosophy of "Give dignity to the commonplace, give mystery to the everyday reality”.
