Seph Rodney blogs about Sam Gilliam: Green April at David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles, on view through July 16, 2016.

Rodney writes: “Each painting of Gilliam’s is like a tidal occurrence, something naturally wafting to the shore of your vision and out again, but never quite still, never settled. I want to say the work is beautiful, literally full of beauty, but that descriptive does not do justice to this exhibition of paintings, many of which have never been seen outside of Gilliam’s studio.”
