About The Work
Shifted Lattice illustrates Siena's preoccupation with process and procedure, while also capturing the intensity and the expressiveness that characterizes his best work. Though the pattern seems intricate, the lines and shapes are simple, following a "visual algorithm" devised by Siena and executed by his hand to its natural conclusion on the picture plane. This print demonstrates Siena's claim that he does not like the idea of backgrounds: instead he paints lines around lines, each imbued with a purpose integral to the whole.
The work was created to benefit Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.
