ATOA Panel, NYC Great Success!

The ATOA Panel in New York City was a great success, with presentations form the six of us, Richard Frumess of R&F Paints giving an encapsulation of the history of encaustic, and the five artists on the panel showing and talking about their work in this medium. I was particularly struck by the differences between the encaustic work from these New York artists, and what I see in the Southwest. The New York work (at least judging from this sample), seemed denser, more opaque more substantial. The best of the work that I see in Santa Fe has to do with luminosity, lighter, more transparent, a reflection of our environment. There was conversation about education, and the phenomena of social networking that has permeated the encaustic world..(the many regional groups), about health and safety issues, and about the process of actually working with the material. I don't know if the question: "Why has it become so popular in the last 15-20 years" actually got answered, but the discussion was lively, with a variety of points of view. check out the panelists' sites below:
