A Spring Thaw — Fine Art

A Spring Thaw by Sam Gilliam shows soft bands of colour that seem to drift and overlap across the sheet. Thin washes of colour sit on the surface, with some areas left open. The eye moves from one band to the next, following the shifts in tone.

This fine art print is set in a frame with a back panel. The matte surface keeps the lighter washes from shining under a lamp, so the colour layers stay even.

It fits a quiet study wall beside a desk. From the chair you see the broad colour bands first, and when you move closer you notice the thin edges where one wash meets the next.
