Desert Motility
encaustic/oil

Alan Soffer Online Art Listing

Alan Soffer Artist Statement: Usually I begin encaustic paintings with a plan, but a plan that is only meant as a starting place, from which to be psychically involved. Encaustics have a unique, visual vocabulary for expressing space through their inherent translucency. Reduction and distillation both buries and exposes bits of images and sentiments infused in the multilayered final painting. It is the path from the thicket to the clearing. These small works deal with a general concept of space and science, as in galactic, infinite universe or microscopic. I try to find a pattern or structure emerging and unifying this void. When all of this crystallizes, I like to think of these works in wax and pigment as little jewels.
