Aspire for Love

Jennifer Keresztes

Encaustic, beeswax crayons, ink, paper & encaustic monotype on panel

Inspired by photo #1

10 x 10 x 1 inches

 

Jumping off the idea of the duality between the stunningly beautiful scientific research images and the devastating disease that is ALS, I aimed to recreate the research image in an encaustic representation and then add some tweaks to bring about a message of love. I hoped ultimately to change the dialogue from thoughts of atrophy, deterioration, loss and disruption to those of healing, hope, light and love.

 

For the creation of this piece, I printed some encaustic monotypes using a similar palette to reflect the atrophy of the microscopic skeletal muscle of the given scientific image. Those prints were then collaged and used as a base on a wood panel from which I then layered dyed papers, encaustic paint and beeswax crayon. I also utilized focused heat with a small torch to create added effects and texture.

  • CARE OF ARTWORK

    Like all fine artwork, encaustic paintings should not be hung in direct sunlight. Filtered sunlight is okay. To clean, dust lightly with a lintfree cloth. Painting may be lightly buffed with the same lint-free cloth to generate a shiny surface area. (example: Tshirt or nylon)
