Beeswax, a blowtorch torch and damar resin are the unlikely ingredients that form the basis of Sharon De Valentin’s solo exhibition ‘Fused’, which is exclusive to Corowa Art Space.
Sharon is a Riverina-based artist who specialises in the medium of encaustic. Unlike traditional painting from wet to dry, the encaustic technique is hot to cold. Encaustic, from the Greek word enkaustikos meaning ‘to burn in or fuse’, is an obscure process where the fire is used to melt layers of wax and mixed pigment to create images.
‘Fused’ explores the rugged beauty of banksias, the majesty of native gums, and the lively presence of magpies. Delicate roses, vast landscapes, and intricate stag head sculptures are complemented by small works crafted from found seeds, nuts, and papier-mâché clay.
