Susan Siegs Encaustic: Bright wax colours in unique interplay and abstract representation.
Abstract encaustic with organic forms and colour formations
The liquid heated encaustic colour waxes let Susan Sieg flow together to fascinating gradients – or deliberately separate different tones of a colour spectrum in colour blocking. She creates structures and organic shapes by covering the cooled wax with shellac and then applying heat to the surface.
Inspirations captured in inspiring encaustic subjects
Nature scenarios often inspire the artist to her abstract representations and give some encaustic works their title. But Susan Sieg always invites the viewer to let his or her own imagination run wild – and thus provides inspiration for individual discoveries that always arouse new emotions.
With her encaustic Susan Sieg combines a painting technique thousands of years old with very modern forms of expression and her individual style of art.
The painting technique has been known under the term “Encaustic” for over two and a half thousand years – far older than oil painting. For Susan Sieg, however, the old encaustic technique can be wonderfully combined with modern art forms such as abstraction, which is typical for her.
She applies her luminous wax crayons up to 10 mm high on wood, the beeswaxes are by nature very long colourfast and when dried they are quite robust. In addition, the artist seals her encaustic paintings with a special wax which makes the works scratch- and shock-resistant.
