Untitled No 63,​ abstract composition 1987 Mixed media on wood panel, wax, oil, paper. signed with initials, gallery label. Abstract painter Michael David is best known for his use of encaustic, a technique that incorporates heated beeswax and pigment. Considered an inheritor of Abstract Expressionism, David’s abstract work primarily centers on the use of a densely layered surface to facilitate a direct and immediate spiritual experience. He often incorporates religious iconography and symbolism, art historical themes such as the nude, and contemporary politics into his paintings resulting in a critical dialogue between the layered abstraction of the surface and the integrated representational imagery. Alongside his work on canvas, David has developed a body of studio photography that recreates paintings by Caravaggio, Manet, and Mantegna, among others, in works that confront racism, homophobia, and sexism. David also works in mixed media and environmental sculpture...

Rinat Goren (Israeli, American, born 1964) "Almost There" 2021 Encaustic paint and paper on cradled wood panel The artist signed the bottom right corner of the painting. “Almost There” is a luminous abstract work created with encaustic and paper on a cradled wood panel. The composition is anchored by a radiant golden field layered with softened geometric forms, linear markings, and a flowing turquoise passage that guides the eye across the surface. Goren’s use of encaustic allows for rich translucency and depth, with molten wax binding pigment and paper into a tactile, atmospheric surface. Repeating rounded shapes and subtle linear rhythms suggest movement, mapping, and quiet progression, while the contrast between warm yellows and cool blues creates a sense of balance and anticipation. The title reflects this visual language, evoking transition, momentum, and the emotional space between arrival and journey. Blending abstraction with a meditative sense of structure, “Almost There” exemplifies Goren’s refined approach to encaustic painting, where color, texture, and process converge. The work is well-suited for collectors drawn to contemporary abstraction, material-driven practice, and pieces that offer both visual warmth and conceptual subtlety. About the Artist: Rinat Goren is an Israeli-American artist based in California whose contemporary encaustic works explore the relationship between thought, structure, and emotion. Born in Israel and residing in the U.S. for most of her life, Goren has long been drawn to both observation and creation, translating the complexity of the human mind into layered visual compositions. Her encaustic paintings—formed by applying molten beeswax mixed with pigment—evoke a tactile, sensory experience that reflects her fascination with systems, decision-making, and the creative act itself. She works with geometry, color, and abstraction to celebrate our innate capacity to reflect, choose, and act with intention. Goren’s process is rooted in one of the world’s oldest painting...
