Pipyr - ORIGINAL - 4x4 Panel - Encaustic, Glass, and Found Object Assemblage

Description

Short Description:

4"x4" Birch Plywood panel with a deep 1.5" cradle (sides shellacked, no frame needed)

Encaustic paint (beeswax and resin)

Flameworked glass face sculpture (also created by me)

Snake Vertebrae

Mouse bones

Shark teeth

Black shell

Horse Hair

This is the first piece in a series that will depict various "Minor Gods" or "Superhumans".

The background for this piece is encaustic (a medium consisting of beeswax, damar resin, pigment, and other waxes as the mood strikes me ;) ) on a cradled high grade birch plywood panel.

If you have never seen an encaustic painting before, there are a couple things I should tell you. Encaustic paintings have a very luminous quality and a very alluring surface. The most common question most people ask is "will it melt?" There is a popular saying among encaustic artists about that... Wax melts at 150 degrees F. If the painting is melting in your house, your house is on fire!! As with all artwork, this piece should always be kept out of direct sunlight.

This panel is signed and dated on the front

Please Note: Due to the nature of the wax, I need to use some common sense when I ship these pieces. If you are currently experiencing an extremely hot or cold time in your area, please get in touch with me so we can discuss the best option for shipping...whether it will be to wait or to ship via overnight mail.
