The Big Tache is a 2009 by East London Printmakers, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a mix of loose, swirling lines and rounded shapes. Some curves look like they’re tangled together, while others sit flatter, almost like floating blobs. The darkest areas are at the bottom, with lighter, sketchier marks above. The title, *The Big Tache*, hints at a French word for "stain" or "blot," which fits the messy, ink-like feel of the image. It’s a print, so the artist likely used a method where ink is pressed through a surface to create these marks. Want to see more prints like this? Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
