Horses Upside Down 1998

Sam Gilliam's "Horses Upside Down" from 1998 is a vibrant abstract painting showcasing his signature style. The work, composed of bold strokes and layered washes of color, evokes a sense of movement and energy. Gilliam, known for his exploration of color and form, uses a palette of reds, blues, yellows, and greens to create a complex and dynamic composition. The gestural application of paint and the layered construction of the artwork highlight the artist's interest in materiality and the process of creation. This painting represents Gilliam's continued contribution to the evolution of abstract art in the late 20th century.
