Kay Hartung
"Bio Flow 7", abstract, microscopic, blue, green, magenta, encaustic painting

2015

About the Item

Kay Hartung’s "Bio Flow 7" is a richly colored 20 x 20 x 2 inch encaustic painting composed of transparent layers depicting flowing microscopic forms in blue, green and magenta. Layers of wax and pigment create a sense of luminous depth. The mid-sized abstract painting is unframed, and signed by the artist on the reverse. Encaustic painting, a technique used by the ancient Greeks, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. Encaustic is among the most beautiful of all artists' paints, and is as versatile as any 21st century medium. Due to the fact that beeswax is impervious to moisture, encaustic is incredibly durable; it will not deteriorate, yellow, or darken over time, eliminating the need for protective varnish or glass. Kay Hartung is an Boston, Massachusetts-based artist interested in the intersection of art and science, particularly the microscopic world. Her work has been included in exhibitions throughout the country and is in both private and corporate collections. Hartung is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
