Art Exhibition Opening, Landforms by Kathy Cantwell

Kathy Cantwell paints primarily in encaustic. An ancient technique also known as hot wax painting, the medium comprises heated beeswax with colored pigments, which are layered then fused onto paneled surfaces. Cantwell is drawn to the opaque and translucent qualities of layering that dominate the encaustic technique.
As an artist, Cantwell’s voice is in the dense layers of translucent and opaque color that are built up and scraped back. Landforms appear, speaking of movement and upheaval and debating the assumption that the sky and ground will always be where we expect. Her art asks the question: where is stability?
“Landforms” will be showing for the month of November at Gallery 103.
