About this work

This abstract painting features a mix of yellow, orange, and brown hues, with subtle hints of green and purple. The colors blend and merge, creating a sense of depth and texture. The overall effect is one of softness and subtlety, with no bold lines or sharp edges. A closer look reveals the use of aluminum powder, which adds a shimmering quality to the painting. The fiberglass paper provides a smooth surface for the watercolor and powder to adhere to. For more works by Sam Gilliam, explore his oeuvre at the Museum of Modern Art.
