UNC Asheville Senior Hold Exhibition of Encaustic Paintings;
|
||
|
|
"Hold Sway," an art exhibition featuring 18
works by UNC Asheville senior Celia Gray, will be on display through
August 5 in UNC Asheville's Highsmith University Union
Gallery.
Gray employs a method known as encaustic painting, which uses
pigmented beeswax in favor of traditional paints. The wax is kept in
liquid form at around 200 degrees by hot plates while working.
Surface effects and images are created using various methods of
scraping, masking, incising, branding and buffing. The technique
allows for added depth and a more tactile quality.
Gray will receive a bachelor's of art degree from UNC Asheville in
August. Her work is also on display at The Blue Spiral 1 in
Asheville and The Penland Gallery at Penland School of Crafts.
The gallery is located on the lower level of UNC Asheville's
Highsmith University Union. It is free and open to the public from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.
