Antoni T?pies (Spanish, 1923?2012) was a Catalan painter best known for his use of unusual materials to create paintings with a wall-like appearance. Born in Barcelona, he was encouraged at a young age to develop an interest in literature and the arts, and while studying law at Barcelona University, he started taking night classes in drawing at the Academia Valls. Two years later, in 1946 T?pies abandoned his studies to pursue an artistic career. With the exception of some drawing classes, T?pies was a self-taught artist, his early works mimicking the styles of Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh.
