Charles Ivey
Chaos Theory #23

About the Item

"Chaos Theory #23" is an encaustic-on-panel piece by Charles Ivey from his "Chaos Theories" series. Ivey uses the encaustic process of combining hot beeswax and natural resin with, in this case, brown, black, gray, blue, and violet pigments. About the Artist: Spending most of his life in Tennessee, Charles Ivey has created art in nearly every medium—from welding steel to taking photos. Ivey currently works in encaustic, a form of painting that combines pigment with hot beeswax and natural resin. He has also done recent work in acrylics and Venetian plaster. Regardless of medium, Ivey creates truly unique pieces through various techniques and rarely approaches his work with any idea of the outcome. He begins by applying layers of paint to the canvas or board, then "works" the surface by moving and removing aspects of the layers to reveal the final piece. During this process, his primary focus is texture and the merging of colors. "The two things that excite me the most about my work are the colors and depth that I am able to create," says Ivey. He is inspired by antiquated architecture, rust patterns on metal, and other artists, particularly Mark Rothko. Ivey currently lives in Memphis with his wife, son, and four dogs.

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...
