Sam Gilliam

Ichi; Two; Tre; and Cuatro

Sam Gilliam's *Ichi; Two; Tre; and Cuatro* is a dynamic series of four monoprints that combines screenprint, collage, acrylic, stitching, and embossing on handmade paper to create richly textured, multi-layered compositions. The works reflect Gilliam's signature exploration of color, materiality, and abstraction, with each piece in the series bearing a title derived from a different language, suggesting a dialogue across cultures. The varied techniques and tactile surfaces give the full sheets a vibrant, almost sculptural presence that pushes the boundaries between printmaking and painting.
