About the Item
Represented by George Billis Gallery:
Artist Statement: I am an Encaustic painter, working in the ancient art form of painting with beeswax and fusing with fire. I paint visions of Peace. Water in motion and Spirit flow through my paintings delving into what lies beyond appearance, free of the confines of perception. My art is my connection to Spirit; an open-eye meditation.
I do not think about what I am painting, rather, I allow the energy in each artwork to convey its own feeling to capture the heart of the beholder. My aesthetic is minimal and simple in composition. My earth-tone palette is neutral, deep, and rich. In this simplicity, unexpected levels of complexity surface.
The revelation is mystical. Every brushstroke and pass of the torch ask for a choice; and each choice, as in life, affects the whole; creating patina and texture that is storied, translucent, and luminous. It has taught me to treasure imperfection and the spontaneity of life.
I hold a special reverence for the unseen details in the complex and labor-intensive encaustic process; believing the energy I infuse into each painting stirs something within us, awakens us, and beckons us to linger a moment longer in our shared appreciation of art. My choice of all natural earth elements—organic beeswax, earth pigments, fir-tree sap called Damar, and Baltic birch panels—is a quiet whisper to the authenticity and integrity of my work.
