About this artwork
Several red-orange, yellow, and blue shapes overlap numerous ovoid and curving light green background shapes. Thin lines provide a subtle counterpoint. Made with beeswax, this painting forefronts paint manipulations unique to encaustic technique: scraping to reveal the green underpainting and comb-like textures. The frame is incorporated in the gatorboard panel.

« I love trees and am captivated by branch and trunk structures. The positive/negative space relationships underly and inform abstract paintings and prints, often made with encaustic. »
Mark Lavatelli is an experienced artist based in the United States whose paintings have been widely exhibited nationally. His representational and abstract landscapes reflect the mediated relationship to nature that most people experience. Through the textured color areas of his tree imagery, Lavatelli conveys visual metaphors of the "fragmentation that is an inescapable reality of contemporary existence".
