Alongside the artist’s ​​iconic paintings from the postwar era, new works will be featured in the exhibition, reflecting Gilliam’s ongoing experimentation with beveled edge canvases. With attention to surface, alchemy and volume, they offer a rich combination of texture, materials, and composition. Gilliam’s approach to Abstract Expression involves methods such as folding, soaking, and staining canvas before applying thick layers of paint mixed with materials such as pure pigment, sawdust, tin shot and debris found on his studio floor.
