Jill Ogilvy
"Indian Infusion" encaustic painting on board still life tea cup jug pot blue

2018

About the Item

Indian Infusion is a still life work depicting three objects, tea cup, pot and jug created by artist Jill Ogilvy with her signature technique Mixed Media Encaustic on birchwood panel. The work is nicely framed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Encaustic painting involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments and damar crystals (fir tree resin) have been added. The liquid/paste is then applied to a surface as pigment. Painting encaustic works is a very labor-intensive process, each painting is built up with multiple wax layers, eight on average. BIOGRAPHY - JILL OGILVY Following a classical training at the Simi School in Florence in the early 1980’s, Jill Ogilvy began her career as a portrait artist at her home in Scotland. She later trained in graphics in London and worked for some years in the publishing industry, designing and illustrating children’s books. After moving to the Languedoc in France, she established an international painting school, and held her first solo show in 1993. After relocating back to the UK, Jill Ogilvy established a studio in Cambridge, where she continues her painting and printmaking practice. She is also a registered Art Therapist. In her recent mixed media paintings Jill Ogilvy explores a sense of identity and relationship through shape and form. Inspired by Japanese design, they are concerned with the inner world of the psyche, and the concept of feelings and emotions ‘contained’ within a boundary. Oil pigment and decorative art papers are encapsulated between wax layers, creating a smooth lustrous sheen on the surface, and a protective ‘skin’ to the outside world.

  • California Contemporary Art Marti Somers Figurative Abstract Surrealism Painting
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Marti Somers Surrealist dream imagery with fish 24 X 24 inches A California artist, Somers received her BFA at the University of Hawaii. She returned to California and worked as a graphic designer at Stanford University and was a principal at Artefact Design in Palo Alto. But ultimately turned to painting. She opened Studio Believe in San Carlos and co-founded Somersault Studios, a non-profit publishing venture to benefit the arts of Northern California. Somers’ sensibility is both poetic and suggestive. Her scrapbook-like merger of natural images (both painted and collage) and writing, rendered in tactile, fragrant wax-based encaustic paint, is seductive and convincing. Rich compilations of vintage images, words, colors, and textures. Flowers, trees, and leaves share the space in each picture with animals, fragments of patterned paper, layers of thin oil paint over thick, glazes that partially obscure one layer and provide a new layer to work with. Stylized flowers, butterflies and birds appear prominently within Somers’ heavily textured, ‘antiqued’ bands of color and pattern. Robert Rauschenberg meets Odilon Redon in her assemblage juxtapositions of dreamy words and images. She has exhibited her work at Caldwell Snyder...
