About this artwork
Bold, textured strips of varied colors dominate this encaustic painting, that also features subtle, curving linear accents. Made with beeswax, the painting forefronts unique paint manipulations: scraping to reveal underpainting, comb-like textures, use of a djanting needle to create thine lines, and excessive burning-in that yields areas smooth enamel-like paint.

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.
