The artwork titled “Bowling” was created by artist Sam Gilliam in 2001. This piece belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and fits within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a composition dominated by large, overlapping, elliptical shapes set against a dark background. The color palette consists primarily of cool shades of green and blue, which seamlessly blend into one another, creating a tranquil and balanced visual effect. The use of horizontal lines and gradients gives the geometric forms a sense of depth and texture. The positioning and symmetry of the shapes contribute to a feeling of harmony and order, characteristic of the abstract genre within the Color Field Painting movement. The meticulous arrangement and color interactions invite the viewer to contemplate the relationship between form and space.
