Sara Crisp
Untitled (Hydrangea) : Encaustic work of art

2009

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.

Pals - Two Bicycles Abstract Geometric Mixed Media Painting on Wood
By Rebecca Klundt
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Rebecca Klundt’s "Pals" uncovers the unique beauty of original paintings, geometric abstractions, and textural mixed-media art. This 32-inch high by 25-inch wide artwork transforms reclaimed wood into a stunning assemblage finished with layers of acrylic paint, highlighting Klundt's commitment to sustainability and creative renewal. Perfect for lovers of eco-friendly art and modern textural compositions, "Pals" features a playful yet sophisticated design of figures composed of bold lines and shapes against a distressed wood-texture background. Klundt’s use of found materials and geometric patterns creates a sense of harmony and order, while the vibrant accents of orange and teal bring dynamic energy to this visually captivating piece. Key Features: > Mixed-Media Assemblage: Crafted from reclaimed wood and layered with acrylic paint, resulting in a textured, geometric composition. > Compact Statement Size: At 32 x 25 inches, this original artwork is ideal for adding a unique touch to smaller spaces or as part of a gallery wall. > Eco-Friendly Art: Made with sustainable materials, reflecting Klundt’s passion for repurposing and renewal. > Ready to Hang: Mounted on a sturdy wood panel, wired, and painted on the sides, eliminating the need for additional framing. > Authenticity Guaranteed: Signed on the back by Rebecca Klundt, with a certificate of authenticity included. About the Artist: Rebecca Klundt, a native of Salt Lake City, Utah, holds a BFA from Brigham Young University and is widely recognized for her innovative use of reclaimed materials in art. Inspired by the natural world and the process of transformation, Klundt creates abstract works that explore themes of renewal, order, and the beauty of lines. Her artistic philosophy embraces using "the unusable" and turning discarded materials into thoughtful, organized compositions. Drawing from the textures and fissures of Utah’s slick rock formations, Klundt’s works are a testament to her love of significant lines and her ability to imbue each piece with a sense of natural balance and human ingenuity. Why "Pals" Stands Out: Rebecca Klundt’s "Pals" is a perfect example of her ability to merge sustainability with contemporary art. Its playful geometric forms and eco-conscious construction make it an ideal addition for collectors seeking modern, textural art that tells a story of creativity and renewal. "Pals", a one-of-a-kind original mixed-media painting by Rebecca Klundt adds sustainable elegance to any home or office space. This unique, eco-friendly artwork celebrates the beauty of reclaimed materials and modern abstraction. Klundt's artworks have been exhibited in Utah and California and have been collected throughout the USA.
