NOTES
In this work, yellow and orange irregular rectangles appear to pass over as well as slip behind the dominant blue and violet background. Faint lattice-like patterns advance and recede throughout the composition. Sam Gilliam produced this complex optical space by overlapping layers of ink in varying opacity and translucency. This effect can be linked to the artist’s early experiments with watercolor—specifically the medium’s sheer, luminous quality.
