Eileen Goldenberg Array 111, 24”x24” encaustic Eileen P. Goldenberg My paintings explores material, color and space by combining ordered, repetitive elements with visual texture and translucency, taking full advantage of encaustic’s ability to tease the eye, simultaneously revealing and concealing. I paint organically, letting my emotions lead the way, literally feeling my way into each piece. The thousands of tiny orbs seem at first to be identical, but like humans, they are in fact all distinct and individual. Look closely and you can see the razor sharp outlines that contrast with the soft blending of luminous subtle color. I meticulously add layer upon layer of molten wax, submerging feelings that will later be revealed, giving them a life of their own. www.eileenPgoldenberg.com 17 Spring Spotlight www.EAINM.com
