About this artwork
A vestige of tree branches against a light-grey sky shares the stage with strips and blocks of vibrant color in this lively abstraction. Made with encaustic (beeswax-based) paint, Pulse demonstrates unique kinds of paint manipulation: excessive burning-in that yields a smooth enamel-like surface, layering and scraping to reveal underpainting, and clusters of fine lines made with a djanting needle.

« 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".
