About this artwork
The pale-green trunk and branches of a pine tree spread dramatically against a grey and red background. Suggesting light from below (the unseen fire), the branches become darker toward the top. Made with encaustic (beeswax) paint, the painting exhibits rich textures and the branches are outlined with thin lines created with a djanting needle, a manipulation unique to encaustic technique.

« 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".
