Gilliam削弱传统上绘画中的视觉世界与画外的有形世界之间的区别，这对于60年代后期在美国工作的非裔美国艺术家来说，在民权运动的鼎盛时期，这不仅仅是一个美学主张。它是一种将艺术的作用定义为正在发生巨大变化的民主社会中主要表达方式的方式，也是在最广泛的文化和政治背景下肯定非客观绘画的力量和相关性的一种方式。Gilliam越来越多地体现了这样一种观念，即自由和自由表达本身就是一种参与公民的形式。

自1960年代以来，Gilliam一直在测试颜色、形式、纹理、抽象和画布本身的界限。他最重要的创新是他的“悬垂”画作：长长的未拉伸、未涂底漆的画布覆盖在深饱和颜色的区域和倾倒的油漆层中。艺术家将这些作品悬挂在墙上或悬挂在天花板上，呈巨大的弯曲条带和环状起伏，其方式让人联想到剧院的窗帘、旗帜或悬挂的衣物。它们既具有侵略性又具有诱惑力，冲击着观者的空间，提供了无数看似混乱的油漆和色彩细节。
