The artwork titled “Untitled,” created by Sam Gilliam in 2002, belongs to the Lyrical Abstraction art movement and falls under the genre of sculpture.
The artwork features a dynamic, colorful assemblage composed of draped and folded materials. Saturated with vibrant hues such as blue, red, yellow, and purple, the sculpture evokes an interplay of light and shadow on its complex surfaces. The folds and creases create a sense of movement and fluidity, as if the material is in a state of perpetual transformation. This fluidity is further accentuated by the gradient transitions of colors, seamlessly blending into one another, thereby enhancing the lyrical quality of the abstraction. The artwork, in its form and use of color, exemplifies a departure from rigid geometric formality, embracing instead a more organic and expressive aesthetic.
