About the Item

Woven Dawn is a luminous 30x30 inch painting by New York artist Andra Samelson that catches the sky at a threshold moment — the blue of deep night still present, but now suffused with the rose and violet of early light breaking through. The composition shares Samelson's signature vocabulary: an undulating grid of interlocked panels, woven over and under one another in gentle, organic rhythm. Here the bands are rendered in warm rose-mauve and silvery lavender, their surfaces alive with dense, hatched mark-making that gives the weave a tactile, textile-like presence. Each cell holds a deep cobalt square cradling a circle of small yellow-gold dots — constellations, seeds, or the luminous eyes of the grid itself — glowing against the dark like embers or distant stars catching first light. The overall effect is of something vast and intimate at once: a cosmos being slowly woven into being, or a quilt stretched across the sky at dawn. The richly worked surface rewards close looking, revealing layers of color and mark beneath the dominant violet-blue ground. Woven Dawn would be a commanding presence in any interior that calls for both visual complexity and meditative calm.

Silk Road 409, Cobalt Blue, Purple, Teal Square Color Field Encaustic Painting

Silk Road 409, Cobalt Blue, Purple, Teal Square Color Field Encaustic Painting

By Joanne Mattera

Located in Kent, CT

A deep, bright cobalt blue encaustic (pigmented beeswax) painting with light purple and vibrant teal accents on birch panel. Signed, dated and titled on verso. Joanne Mattera’s paintings can be described as lush minimalism, the work is chromatically rich and compositionally reductive. Each painting in the ongoing Silk Road series is a small color field achieved by layers of translucent wax paint applied at right angles. The series, began in 2005, was inspired by the iridescent hues of slubbed silk, hence the title, but very quickly evolved into a more expansive exploration of color. In plying the richness of the encaustic paint against the austerity of a very subtle grid the artist sets in motion a dynamic in which color and texture jostle for primacy. A decade and almost 300 paintings later, the artist is still enthralled with this exploration. Mattera is the foremost expert in the field of encaustic painting and is the founder and former director of the International Encaustic Conference. Her artwork is in the collections of The New Britain Museum of Contemporary Art, US Embassies (Slovenia and Poland), US State Department, Bank of America, and Norwegian Cruise Lines, to name a few as well as numerous private collections. Mattera writes a contemporary art blog, she is a frequent guest speaker and curator and is a member of American Abstract Artists (NYC). The artist lives and works in MA and in NYC. Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The word comes originally from the Greek word “enkaustikis” meaning to “burn in” and the process dates back to the 5th century. The liquid or paste is applied to a surface —usually prepared wood.
