Navigating 2, pink, orange and blue abstract encaustic painting on board

About the Item

Pressman works in various media. The oil paintings require a different approach as they dry more slowly than the encaustic work. As such, the oils sit with the artist often for months before they are complete, allowing her to reenter the painting, continuing to scrape and reapply paint, gradually building a surface that speaks to her. The oil paint, built in layers, creates a gritty surface that seems lit from within. The encaustic paintings allow Pressman to create numerous layers in succession as each layer dries quickly. The vivid, gem-like colors of the pigment have broad appeal and the paintings glisten and shine. Boldly striped, abstract paintings in colorful encaustics.

Coastal Fugue #1
By Sylvia Torres
Located in Palm Desert, CA
This is the beautiful island Santa Rosa, one of the Channel Islands Sanctuary islands just off the California mainland. This vast stretch is adorned with a variety of fiery wildflowers stretching far and wide, like a musical composition of various themes and in different voices. Santa Rosa is home to an incredible array of birds and marine life. It is a narrow but spreading landscape ribboned with trails, each one seemingly in the manner of a flight or chase, repeating the same melody in a slight variation. The cliffs drop hundreds of feet to the crashing swells of ocean below, home to historic shipwrecks peacefully intact. Torres’ paintings appear on the sets of popular television shows: Big Little Big Lies, Criminal Minds, Chicago Med, Grey’s Anatomy...
