“Fog In The Hollow” is an abstract artwork created by Sam Gilliam in 1974. It is part of the Abstract Expressionism movement, characterized by its abstract nature.
The artwork is a vibrant tapestry of interwoven colors and shapes, forming an intricate and dynamic composition. A plethora of green hues dominates the canvas, interspersed with splashes of contrasting pinks, blues, and yellows. There is an organic, almost botanical quality to the abstract forms, reminiscent of a dense forest or thicket seen through a veil of mist. The application of paint appears gestural and spontaneous, reflecting the emotional intensity and energetic brushwork typical of Abstract Expressionism. Patterns and textures meld seamlessly, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the visual experience and interpret the underlying emotions and meanings.
