This exhibition is a survey of regional artists working in the medium
of encaustics, a wax based paint (composed of beeswax, resin, and pigment)
kept molten on a heated palette. Remaining malleable only as long
as the wax is hot, encaustic is time-based. Layers of rich, vivid color
accumulate as they are poured, brushed, and mixed together on a porous
surface, fusing together as the wax solidifi es. Each artist in the exhibition
offers a unique perspective on this beautiful medium–at once intuitive
and scientifi c–presenting an array of poetic explorations of color, form,
process, and material.

Gallery Hours:
Monday - Thursday 9:00am - 8:30pm, Friday 9:30am - 11:30am
