Split 4
Amy Sillman American
Not on view
As a painter, Sillman is equally interested in questions of color and form. In Split 4, she constructs a work in varying shades of green, demonstrating the painterly possibilities of a single color. The work is built-up through varied types of brush strokes and applications of paint: in some places deliberately rough and translucent, while in others smooth and opaque. Sillman often refers to a desire for her works to feel like an assembled array of "spare parts."[1] Here we see an unexpected collection of forms, color juxtapositions, and gestures suddenly made into a coherent whole, deftly unified within this single composition.
