Press Release:
Asheville Area Arts Council presents: Changing Coasts, new work by Mary Farmer
Changing Coasts encaustic work by new to Asheville artist, Mary Farmer, captures her impression of WNC. Says Farmer, "Working in wax, encaustic painting, is a very physical endeavor. You'll find heat guns, hot plates, large wooden panels, and gas torches in my studio. This physicality is very appealing to me as I layer and scrape, gouge and fill, heat and distress each work. When paired with my own visual vocabulary, I find myself deeply involved in the process; it is the perfect combination of process, abstraction, color, movement and composition."
Paintings rendered in encaustic have given collectors a new medium to contemplate and has attracted its very own following. The work is lush,
luminous and presents great depth.
A reception for Asheville artist Mary Farmer will be held in the Boardroom Gallery on Friday, January 9, 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Asheville Area Arts Council,11 Biltmore Avenue. Titled “Changing Coasts”, the exhibit remains on display through Feb 28.
