About The Artwork

Encaustic wax collage on birch panel made with custom hand-marbled archival paper. Floating and dripping the arboreal-fungi-like motif frames patterns evocative of astral phenomena. It has a muted and neutral palette set against a pale yellow sun shape. The grain of the birch wood substrate is left exposed and a sprinkle of hand-gilded gold leaf references the star stuff that permeates everything. The painting surface is fused with encaustic wax (beeswax and resin) which gives a soft, waxy shine and slightly opaque effect. Painting is ready to hang as-is revealing the making process on the edges or can be framed by the collector. Signed on back. Part of an ongoing body of work titled 'Cosmic Botany'. The visual language juxtaposes geometric forms and organic texture to highlight the aesthetic parallels found between mycology and astronomy.

Jamie Gray is an abstract artist, living and working in Denver CO. Gray has exhibited in galleries & art fairs in the U.K. & the U.S, had work commissioned for museum shops in London & Kansas City, had work included in hotel collections in NY & Miami, and sold to collectors in Australia, England, Europe, and the U.S.  “Jamie creates paintings that are both geometric and primordial” – Aurora Garrison, Saatchi Art Curator The artist’s work can be described as a novel mix of geometric abstraction, minimalist & nature-inspired motifs, hand-rendered pattern & texture, and craft-based techniques such as encaustic wax, woodworking, gilding & paper marbling. Gray studied photography and graphic design. This educational foundation, plus time spent teaching and practicing design, deeply underpins her aesthetic choices and creative processes. “It is said that all life on earth is created from the matter of long-dead stars. Through my art, I'm interested in making contemplative moments for interior spaces that subtly reference some of the creative forces behind our natural world. The shapes I see in my environment — from pebbles to prairies, feathers to forests, mushrooms to mountains, crystals to clouds — provide me with a constant source of inspiration. Ultimately, I’m interested in creating a visual language based on pattern and geometric abstraction that offers the viewer multiple interpretations while also revealing a common thread between diverse subject matter." – Jamie Gray, Artist Statement
