The Birds And The Bees(wax)
Encaustic painting, noun: a ridiculously cool way to paint with pigment injected beeswax that are heated and cooled to varying effects. It also has a lovely smell, but I don’t think it’s edible.
This Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. the River Gallery is hosting Judy Klich, an encaustic painter of natural landscapes, and the beauty of her art work is something to hunger for.
Her paintings have a collage of colors that are subdued yet vibrant. The natural world is often confined in geometrical shapes, and even when it’s not, her works looks like scenes from a dream. A view of a lake through hazy green trees, sporadic images of birds or flowers: they’re all organic in both subject matter and medium.
In her bio, Judy Klich states: “A reoccurring theme of ‘calm versus chaos’ is prominent in my work. Natural and organic textures combined with geometric elements in abstract landscapes tell emotional stories of places I have been or seen.”
