“Aviation 3” is an abstract artwork created by Sam Gilliam in 1990, belonging to the art movement known as Lyrical Abstraction. The artwork exhibits a composition that is both dynamic and intricate.
The artwork features a vibrant array of colors and textures. Dominant hues include blue, yellow, red, and hints of black and white. Each color layers atop another, creating a sense of depth and movement. The brushstrokes are expressive and bold, contributing to the piece’s overall energy. The overlapping forms and transparent layers suggest a multidimensional space, inviting viewers to explore the interplay of colors and shapes. This complex and spontaneous visual experience is characteristic of Gilliam’s work and the Lyrical Abstraction movement.
