Tracy Proctor Artist Talk: Impressionism + Encaustic
Tracy Proctor has a passion for encaustic (an ancient process fusing bees wax, dammar resin and oil paint with heat). She paints intuitively; layering, carving, scraping and fusing. The spontaneity of the process creates a real sense of energy. An unfolding of a mystery is revealed as each layer is built up and gouged away. Encaustic has the vibrancy of colour inherent in oil, sculptural texture and a quickness of drying that suits my impatient temperament. Yet the wax has an ethereal and luminous quality that cannot quite be achieved with any other medium. Her style is a somewhat quirky form of realism with vivid colour, texture and depth.
Tracy's talk will focus on her work in impressionism and contemporary impressionistic encaustic artists with a distinct style. CanwaxWest's Waxing Poetic awards will follow her talk.
When: Saturday, September 15th
Time: 6:00 pm
Where: Shatford Centre, 760 Main Street, Penticton, BC
There is no charge for this event.
