In Nocturn Matinal Tàpies seeks to capture the transitional moment where dark and heavy matter (earth, mud, pain) meets a ray of light or consciousness (awakening). The works under this title or concept are characterized by the typical language of Tàpies, but with a special game of contrast.

Co-founder of "Dau al Set", Tàpies has been awarded prizes all over the world, and has had solo exhibitions in such prominent centers as the Guggenheim Museum in New York or the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. He is represented in major national and international museums, such as the foundation that bears his name in Barcelona, the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Guggenheim in Berlin, Bilbao and New York, the Fukoka Art Museum in Japan, the MoMA in New York and the Tate Gallery in London.
