About this artwork
Thick and thin dark tree branches punctuate a circular arrangement of colored rectangles, to
form a dramatic painting space. Clusters of leaves from the oil underpainting emerge from scraped layers of encaustic paint and create a counterpoint to the branch forms.

« 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".
