ArtGram.Trillium

Reaching, releasing, reaching, releasing, all the way round. Every high sits between two lows. The most distinctive figure in the vocabulary, and among the rarest.

11 paintings · reaches on Contrast, Abstraction and Palette · holds on Texture, Form and Color Range

The most typical Trillium in the catalog: Blue Planet. Closest of the 11 to the shape’s own mean on all six.

Where it sits

Texture: 2.5 below the catalog median of 3.0
Contrast: 4.1 above the catalog median of 3.5
Form: 1.9 below the catalog median of 3.0
Abstraction: 4.3 above the catalog median of 2.6
Color Range: 1.8 below the catalog median of 3.0
Palette: 4.1 above the catalog median of 4.0

Means across all 11. The signature is what holds for the shape as a whole, not a rule every painting obeys: a named silhouette cutting through a continuum, not a category with a boundary.

What it is next to

Let one more reading reach and it becomes Spray, and let one drop back and it becomes Fork. Two paintings a single step apart are related in a way you can see, which is what makes the thirteen a language rather than a list.
