Shoot Six 1965

Sam Gilliam's "Shoot Six" from 1965 is a vibrant example of his signature style, combining abstract color-field painting with a bold, three-dimensional approach. The canvas is composed of radiating, diagonal stripes of color in a near-monochromatic spectrum that evokes a sense of dynamism and movement. "Shoot Six," like many of Gilliam's works, explores color relationships and the dynamic effect of a single color in different hues.
