Freely (hot wax on OSB) Painting

Pure encaustic, hot wax, and pigments on OSB (H50 W70 D1.2 cm) from 2021 "Freely" is a colorful and playful painting that captures the Wellington statue in Glasgow with a traffic cone on its head. The painting celebrates the city's unique sense of humor and the way its people have embraced this iconic statue as a symbol of their identity. The equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington is rendered in fine detail, with a red-and-white traffic cone balancing precariously on top of the Duke's head. The cone has become a fixture of the statue's image, reflecting the city's vibrant and irreverent spirit. The sign that hangs on the horse of the statue bears Glasgow's famous motto, "People make Glasgow," reminding viewers that it is the people who bring the city to life and make it a special place. In recent years, I have used OSB as a basis. By retracting the paint layers, I use the texture of the veneer as part of my compositions to create a unique rustic industrial atmosphere. Due to the OSB board, these works of art are very stable but heavy. This is recycled art. The encaustic is equipped with a simple wooden exhibition frame, which harmonizes with the industrial style of the painting and highlights it well. Ready to hang! This work will be delivered with Care Instructions for my encaustic paintings and a signed certificate of authenticity. I ship this work in cardboard boxes carefully wrapped in bubble foil and protect the painting with cardboard.
