This exhibition will examine “A Moment in Time” as expressed through the ancient medium of encaustic.  Unlike other painting media, encaustic begins its journey to solid from a molten phase.  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 the wax when in its solid state has unusual qualities of reflecting light through the layers of paint.

The works exhibited may explore the concept of Time through their process or through their subject matter.  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.
