Join Mary Cremin, Head of Programming at IMMA who introduces the new exhibition Sam Gilliam: Sewing Fields, the first solo exhibition in Ireland by Sam Gilliam (1933 – 2022), one of the leading innovators in post-war American painting. The exhibition is co-organised with the Sam Gilliam Foundation, which promotes the legacy and vision of abstract artist Sam Gilliam. Discover the Gilliam’s ground-breaking approach to painting and his iconic ‘Drape’ paintings, where he blurred the lines between painting and sculpture. Learn more about the influences of Irish landscape on the artist’s work, and how Gilliam transformed the viewer’s experience through innovative use of colour, form, and materials.
