Joanne MatteraSilk Road 386, Pale Violet, Teal Blue Square Encaustic Color Field Painting
About the Item
Pale lavender, pinky purple encaustic (pigmented beeswax) square painting on birch panel with light lilac details in and light teal blue along the edges. Signed and titled on verso.
Joanne Mattera’s paintings are can be described as lush minimalism; the work is chromatically rich and compositionally reductive. Each painting in the ongoing Silk Road series is a small color field achieved by layers of translucent wax paint applied at right angles. The series, which began in 2005, was inspired by the iridescent hues of slubbed silk, hence the title, but very quickly evolved into a more expansive exploration of color. In applying the richness of the encaustic paint against the austerity of a very subtle grid the artist sets in motion a dynamic in which color and texture jostle for primacy. A decade and almost 300 paintings later, the artist is still enthralled with this exploration.
Mattera is the foremost expert in the field of encaustic painting and is the founder and former director of the International Encaustic Conference. Her artwork is in the collections of The New Britain Museum of Contemporary Art, US Embassies (Slovenia and Poland), US State Department, Bank of America, and Norwegian Cruise Lines, to name a few as well as numerous private collections. Mattera writes a contemporary art blog, she is a frequent guest speaker and curator and is a member of American Abstract Artists (NYC). The artist lives and works in MA and in NYC.
This work is part of a large ongoing series. The Silk Road series is very effective installed in a grouping or grid.
