Surfacing #1, 30" x 30" encaustic, oil and paper on wood panel
This new encaustic painting “Surfacing #1″ is inspired by the Margaret Atwood novel. In its intricate and complex overlays of maps and charts, text and symbols I sensed a similarity to the haunting, searching tone of the novel, and the heroine’s pursuit of understanding and peace.
In other news, on Thursday December 1, from 6 to 8 pm, the John B. Aird Gallery will host Mistletoe Magic, festive reception and silent fine art auction. More than 100 exceptional artworks by a select group of artists will be on display for purchase at very affordable prices. Proceeds from the event support the not-for-profit gallery and its exhibition and educational programming.
The work is on display for preview from Tuesday November 22 until December 1 and gallery patrons are invited to pre-bid or purchase during that time.
I have three lovely new 8″ x 8″ encaustic paintings in the show.
It promises to be an enjoyable evening! Hope to see you there.
The John B. Aird Gallery is located in the Macdonald Block, 900 Bay Street, Toronto.
