SOME LIKE IT HOT: WORKS IN ENCAUSTIC
On view: Saturday, January 13 - Saturday, February 17, 2018
Reception: Saturday, January 20, 5:00 - 7:00 PM

Encaustic painting dates as far back as the 5th century B.C. The process involves heating a mixture of beeswax, resin, and pigments, which are applied while hot to a rigid surface such as a wood panel, and further manipulated. Curated by Katharine Dufault, Some Like It Hot will introduce the community to a brief history of the medium, and show the wide variety of techniques possible using hot wax.

Participating artists include Christine Aaron, Anne Bedrick, Binnie Birstein, Kathy Cantwell, Katharine Dufault, Roxanne Faber Savage, David Fox, Lorraine Glessner, Leslie Giuliani, Laura Moriarty, Lisa Pressman, Pat Spainhour, Priya Tambe, Dietlind Vander Schaff, as well as students from both The Rye Arts Center and Pelham Art Center.
