Pure encaustic, hot wax, and pigments on OSB plate.
Walking in Glasgow, the iconic Wellington statue with the traffic cone on its head impressed me. For me, this statue means freedom for people and art: the people of the city have set aside the seriousness of so many countries with national grandeur and pride and legalized humor and artistic freedom as befits even a glorious statue of a former prime minister.
In recent years, I have used OSB as a basis. By retracting the paint layers, I use the texture of the veneer as part of my compositions to create a unique rustic industrial atmosphere. Due to the OSB board, these works of art are very stable but heavy. This is recycled art.
The encaustic is equipped with a simple wooden exhibition frame, which harmonizes with the industrial style of the painting and highlights it well. Ready to hang!
This work will be delivered with Care Instructions for my encaustic paintings.
