SALE ONE WEEK ONLY These wax relief portraits of two women, possibly the same woman dated two years apart, is a work that is exemplary of one of the 19th century's masters of the craft, Richard Cockle Lucas. Lucas was known for doing the wax relief portraits of both well-known figures in British society such as the Prime Minister Lord Palmerston and figures of the local churches near and in his local hometown of Chilworth, such as the Bishop of St David's, Thomas Burgess. Each wax profile measures approx. 6 inches tall x 3 inches wide carved in the color off white wax with the name of the sitter and dates on both signed into the brown wax back ground. One is signed Miss Crawford Walton 1851 and one is signed Miss Crawford 1853, both have the signature of Richard Cockle Lucas along side of the sitters name. Both are mounted into a frame by Chapman Bros...

The experience of nature and daily life feed my work. The materials I use are from the natural world: beeswax and cotton thread. The threads are untwined and dyed with things I consume like spices, foods, coffee, wine, etc. This process creates an intimacy with my material. The laborious un-twining of the threads is an act of rewinding time. A going back to 'origin'. The threads become the lines I draw with. I embed these threads into beeswax-coated MDF panels to create varying experiences of landscape. The viewer, as I am, is either experiencing it up close or from a distance; zoomed in or zoomed out.

"My work principally consists of deeply abstracted figure compositions--intuitive constructions that begin with random marks establishing larger masses of torsos, heads, and limbs in an undefined setting. The emphasis is almost purely on intuition. The figures are born of their surrounding environment, emerging only partially and fugitively from the layers of pigment. A narrative is evident but never overt. A crown, a shield, a boat, a wheel. Though the subject has recently coalesced around my reading of Dante and Shakespeare, the settings remain extremely vague- a beach, an interior, a woodland. The paintings are, in the end, meditations on the relationship between the protagonists in a wordless drama. In my paintings, I use a cold wax medium combined with dry pigments, oil paint, and embedded fragments of burlap. The surfaces eventually build up into a dense, rugged terrain." --Thaddeus Radell

Joseph Maresca (American, b. 1946). Still life rendering on wood mounted tiles. Flowers, Plant and fruits. Green X Ray Oil and wax encaustic on tile Gallery label and hanging wire at back. Dimensions: Height: 12 inches / 30.48 cm Width: 12 inches / 30.48 cm This one is not signed but its companion piece is hand signed and dated in black pigment verso. I am selling them individually but they make a lovely pair. Joseph Maresca was born in Brooklyn, NY, in 1946, and currently resides in Rhinecliff, Rhinebeck, NY. He received his BFA in industrial design from Pratt Institute, and a master’s degree in arts education from New York University. His paintings and drawings have been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums, including the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Katonah Museum of Art, and even the White House—in honor of his design for an official White House tree ornament depicting Vanderbilt Mansion. Academically, Maresca has taught as an adjunct professor at New York University and at City University of New York, and has authored a book—WPA Buildings: Architecture and Art of the New Deal (2017)—about the influence of Works Project Administration architecture. The book examines the social impact on American cities of the imposing government buildings that were funded by the WPA to restore public confidence during the Great Depression. Maresca has been represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY and Michelle Rosenfeld Gallery in New York City.
