This Time

"This Time" by Sam Gilliam exemplifies his evolution from traditional abstract and lyrical abstraction styles within the Washington Color School. Gilliam, renowned as a pioneering abstract artist and arts educator, moved beyond flat color fields by incorporating process and sculptural elements, creating a dynamic interplay of texture and form. His use of vibrant, layered colors invites viewers into a poetic exploration of space and material, reflecting his innovative approach to color field painting and challenging the boundaries of conventional abstraction. "This Time" exemplifies his mastery in blending form, process, and color.
