Upcoming Exhibition
May 15 - August 31, 2024
Andrew Csafordi I Gestures
|
ANDARA Gallery is proud to announce the upcoming solo exhibition by Canadian fine art encaustic painter, Andrew Csafordi. “GESTURES” will run from May 15-August 31, 2024.
While some artists paint in silence and solitude, painting with music is a big part of Andrew’s process. For this show, he has turned up the volume on a wide range of music playing in his studio. These latest works are often influenced by the ((loud)) and wide range of music he listens to. Andrew’s new body of work is a more brave approach to impressionist-style landscapes intertwined with abstraction. GESTURES reflects a maturity that’s evolved from over 20 years of working in encaustic while still holding on to his explorative nature. A fusion of layers of colourful beeswax with mixed media on wood panels, each painting is a harmony of bold gestures and carefully applied details. Andrew and the wax are a team working together, pulling and pushing. Working back and forth across the board with gestures of energy and imagination, Andrew sculpts the wax with brushes and various heated tools - the semi-translucent layers slowly reveal their secrets. |
