“Tapestry,” an artwork created by Sam Gilliam in 2000, exemplifies the Lyrical Abstraction art movement and falls within the genre of installation art.
The artwork presents a vibrant and dynamic composition characterized by a fluid interplay of colors and shapes. Rich hues of red, blue, orange, and yellow intermingle with softer pastel tones, creating a visually stimulating tapestry. The use of cut-out shapes and varying transparency adds depth and dimensionality to the piece. The overall aesthetic evokes a sense of movement and spontaneity, embodying the principles of Lyrical Abstraction through its expressive and non-representational form.
