Secrets

Secrets, 1987, Serigraph by R.C. Gorman. Six female faces float within a luminous pink and peachy ground, each one rendered in soft profile or three-quarter view, their eyes closed or cast downward in introspective silence. The faces are arranged in a rhythmic composition that suggests whispered conversation or shared confidences. The warm mauve and rose tones dominate the palette, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and psychological depth. This serigraphic work demonstrates Gorman’s continued exploration of the inner lives of his subjects and his mastery of the medium’s bold color capabilities. A powerful statement on the private worlds women inhabit. Essential for collectors of Gorman’s figurative work and the 1980s Southwest art movement.
