Layers of Meaning: International Encaustic Online Exhibition July 7 - August 1, 2021
Propeller Art Gallery at 30 Abell St., Toronto, ON M6J 0A9, Canada
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 10th, 3:00-5:00 pm (EDT)
This show demonstrates the different ways that artists have approached their work in these recent times, finding layers of meaning through art. Works include encaustic paintings, sculpture, vessels, prints, photography and mixed media that showcase this medium’s unique ability to channel artistic expression in so many diverse ways. All works in the show incorporate hot wax encaustic techniques. Encaustic artforms are created using molten, pigmented beeswax. Heat is used at every stage of the process. The word encaustic comes from the Greek enkaustikos which means to burn in.
The show includes over 100 encaustic works by artists from 12 countries.
