April 19 Encaustic Painting for Eight Wednesday Mornings at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond
Encaustic painting is an ancient painting method that combines pigment, molten beeswax, and resin. Finished pieces can appear luminous, smooth, shiny, or textured, as well as three-dimensional. This makes the medium ideal for working in both abstract or representational styles. In this class you’ll explore melting and fusing the wax, line and edge, and methods of working with paper and texture.

Review
Kristin Polich
Emergence
Floating suspended drawings by Kristin Polich
The whole is greater than the sum of its’ parts. Aristotle
I recommend the exhibition of work by Kristin Polich whose
incredible 3 dimensional fiber work is on exhibit at Artspace, Richmond, VA www.artspacegallery.org
She uses wire, yarn, fabric and other materials to construct
her pieces.
These pieces walk the line between drawing and installation.
The huge gallery was filled with ‘drawings’ which appeared to be the creation
of some being that found a spot and went about her business of doing what they
do in fierce competition.
KP describes her work resembling netting or a web that
symbolizes fragility and strength. She explores the connectedness and
separation of these essential elements in the human experience.
An additional plus of her work is the shadow each one of
these dimensional drawings cast. The distance they are placed from the wall and
the angle of the light on them create a rich experience. The patterns of her
web-like forms are cast again in black and white shadows and this interplay
brings this beautiful work to life.
I long to see larger pieces along with these intimate works
in the future.
This is excellent work and I highly recommend your catching
this show or future exhibitions of her work.

NEW Oct 15 Encaustic Monotypes workshop 1-4pm at Studio Two Three, Richmond, VA
www.studiotwothree.org
Encaustic monotypes are made by painting your image on a heated palette with encaustic paint and then that image is lifted from the surface by applying rice paper. Silicone stencils and tools which are heat tolerant are also used on the hot plate to create interesting patterns and texture. These prints dry and solidify immediately leaving a ghost image on the plate that can again be worked into in quick succession.
