About the Item
Baby Face (16 x 16), 2011 - Abstract Contemporary Painting on wood panel
16" X 16" , encaustic on board
A pale blue encaustic painting with abstract white and charcoal grid-like shapes and a saffron/orange colored form. Donise English created this work in 2011 by layering the medium repetitively in order to give it a 3-dimensional texture.
Artist Statement:
These works on paper are about the way visual diagrams present information that describes how something is made or the way it is. I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.
