Stephanie Hargrave "imbricate 1", 40 x 60
Last night was opening night of the Hargrave exhibit at Patricia Rovzar Gallery in Seattle. In this new body of work, Stephanie has rediscovered her skill with transparency through layers of color, line, and organic shapes. The resulting compositions have both tranquility and energy. The line work is stronger than ever, and the addition of little dimensional spheres of wax drop like jewels onto the surface. They are perfectly placed. Like all encaustic, any form of reproduction is a woefully inadequate experience. Do yourself a favor, and skip the online show and go directly to the gallery to view the work in-person.
The show will be up until August 4th. Enjoy!

I ran across the show yesterday as I passed by on the sidewalk. So true that as with a lot of encaustic, the photos cannot come close to doing it justice. The layering in these pieces had me stopped in my tracks.
