In this exhibit, various works will display “A Moment in Time” expressed through the ancient art medium of encaustic – a hot wax painting method.  Unlike other painting media, encaustic begins its journey from a molten phase to solid.  There are typically only a few seconds for the artist to move the brush from palette to panel before the wax becomes unworkable. The artist uses heat to manipulate the paint and wax during its solid state to bring out unusual qualities of reflecting light through the layers of paint.

This exhibition will showcase the work of contemporary artists working in distinctly different styles that incorporate encaustic into their work.  The artwork exhibited will be of varied styles and genres:  conceptual art, abstract painting, mixed media, and photography, providing a diverse artistic experience for the viewer.
