Sara Crisp
Untitled (Daisy Wheel) : Encaustic work of art

2014

About the Item

Encaustic work of art by an acclaimed Maine artist Sara Crisp. Sara Crisp draws inspiration from the delicate balance between the natural and the human-made worlds. Through masterful use of encaustic, an ancient method of painting using wax and pigment fused with heat, Crisp meticulously creates multi-layered, translucent works that reflect the interplay between mundane aspects of the natural world and the ethereal realms. A harmonious union of the spiritual and physical can be found in all Crisp’s creations. The artist embeds various found objects such as flower petals, stems, and seed pods in her artworks, often covering the surface by a sheet of mica, a mineral that adds a shimmering depth to the compositions. Alongside the botanical elements collected from nature or received as gifts from friends and family, Crisp employs intricate mark-making techniques, creating patterns such as tilings, hexagons, and mandalas. Delicate and measured geometric shapes comprised of thin lines coexist with natural materials, intertwining the transcendent spiritual realm with the visible physical world. Her work aims to inspire the recognition of the divine within the mundane and celebrate the exalted within the universal. Sara Crisp has had numerous exhibition at various venues such as Denise Bibro Fine Art, NYC; Portland Museum of Art, Portland, ME; SOHO20, NYC; Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Rockport, ME; Silvermine Guild Arts Center, New Canaan, CT; eklektikos Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Chautauqua Center for the Visual Arts, Chautauqua, NY, among others. Her work was showcased at international art fairs such as Art Miami, Red Dot, and the Affordable Art Fair. Her numerous awards include the Best of Show prize at the Cambridge Art Association National Prize Show and an artist’s grant from the Maine Arts Commission. She has also received notices in The Boston Globe, Art New England, and The New York Times.

  • Chasmanthium Insignias: Abstract Encaustic Painting with Green, Earth Tones
    By Allyson Levy
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Abstract encaustic painting with a green, earth toned palette. Made with natural plant material (Northern Sea Oats) "Chasmanthium Insignias I" made by Allyson Levy in 2021 encaustic and plant material on wood panel, 24 x 24 x 1 inches Lightweight, hangs with one d-ring, Signed, verso This modern abstract encaustic painting by Allyson Levy is made with Northern Sea Oats and green encaustic, sealed with a layer of neutral wax on a wood panel. The artist begins by finding the organic material in her 4-acre garden in upstate New York which she then arranges and embeds with encaustic on a wooden panel. The brown, earth toned sea oats are laid in a linear pattern on a wood panel with a surface of green encaustic and then sealed with clear wax. The encaustic wraps around to the sides of the panel, revealing some bumps and downward drips, accumulated during the natural drying process. The piece is lightweight and hangs on one d-ring. About the artist and her work: After moving to the rural town of Stone Ridge, NY seventeen years ago and starting a 4-acre botanical garden with her husband, mixed media artist, Allyson Levy, has found endless inspiration in the plant kingdom that surrounds her. The garden itself, named “Hortus Conclusus”, consisting of thousands of rare plants and edibles, remains at the epicenter of Levy’s art making. A fascination with earth’s bounty is expressed with her works in encaustic. Assorted organic material such as leaves, seeds, branches, insect wings...
