Kay Hartung
"Bio Fusion 7", abstract, microscopic, ochre, teal, rust, mixed media, encaustic

2013

About the Item

Kay Hartung’s “Bio Fusion 7” is a mixed media encaustic and pastel abstract painting in ochre, teal and rust, with actual thread embedded in the surface and composed of microscopic images actively forming connections. The painting simulates a fusion of cells. Painted with encaustic and pastel, it measures 16 x 16 x 2 inches on birch panel. The painting is unframed and signed by the artist on the reverse. Encaustic painting, a technique used by the ancient Greeks, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. Encaustic is among the most beautiful of all artists' paints, and is as versatile as any 21st century medium. Due to the fact that beeswax is impervious to moisture, encaustic is incredibly durable; it will not deteriorate, yellow, or darken over time, eliminating the need for protective varnish or glass. Kay Hartung is an artist interested in the intersection of art and science, particularly the microscopic world. Her work has been included in exhibitions throughout the country and is in both private and corporate collections. Hartung is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
