Lot description
This mixed media work is a monotype with oil painting, relief printing, and embossing on heavy handmade paper by American artist Sam Gilliam. The abstract composition features a dense, multi-layered application of vibrant pigments including cobalt blue, magenta, canary yellow, and emerald green. The work is characterized by its sculptural, three-dimensional quality, achieved through the use of thick cast paper pulp with irregular deckled edges. Inscribed in ink on the side edge of the paper is the title Cape #4 - 1981 along with the signature Sam Gilliam. The artwork is housed in a modern white wooden shadowbox frame with a deep spacer to accommodate the highly textured and uneven surface of the support.
