12 encaustic originals by Studio Reset
Exhibited at the NZ Artshow, June 3-June 6, 21, TSB Arena, Wellington, New Zealand My inspiration for this series came from the banana with masking tape concept artwork titled “Comedian” by Maurizio Cattelan that was showcased at the Miami Gallery, Art Basel and incidently sold three times over for huge sums of money. Sadly, it was also consumed later that evening by David Datuna as a social media stunt and called then performance art. I wanted to create modern art that would stand the test of time and not have to be changed over on the wall when it starts blacken or decay. Call me old fashioned.... This is my own spin on 1970’s 3D wax fruit and it WILL most definitely last several lifetimes unlike the other less sustainable, more expensive artwork. I photographed a number of bananas, playing with their light and shadow on my well used work bench in my Te horo, home studio. I mixed up my encaustic medium harvested wax from my own beehives, damar and yellow pigment and then transferred my photograph into the wax. From there, more hot liquid wax and pigment/inks were added and suspended between many fine sheets of encaustic medium. This ancient technique from Egypt, dates back to 100-300AD, and was used to make the Fayum mummy portraits. I am attracted to this medium for its dimensional quality and luminous colour and that it stands the test of time. The process for me is very much an organic one, supporting sustainability in my art practice by the materials I use. The frames are made from recycled timber and left almost as they were, in their original worn state. 9/5/2022 07:20:58 am
