About the Item

Abstract encaustic painting with dyed teal, indigo, white and beige fabrics "White Breezes Blue Skies" made by Hudson Valley artist, Alaina Enslen, in 2022 Encaustic dyed fabrics mounted on panel 17 x 26 x 2 inches unframed, sides reveal raw panel and wrapped fabric Excellent condition, ready to hang Lightweight Signed, verso This abstract minimalist painting is made with repurposed pieces of found fabrics in complementary tones of teal, indigo, and beige on an encaustic white background. The fabrics, which are adhered to a light wood Birch panel and layered with a subtle layer of encaustic, are arranged in a whimsical motif that accentuates the spontaneous dyed patterns. The layers of fabric and encaustic create a textured, impasto surface. About the artist: Alaina Enslen expresses her artistic vision through repurposed fabrics infused with beeswax. The Cornwall-On-Hudson based artist collects pieces of textile that evoke memory, tradition, or experience like cherished worn heirlooms, discarded clothes, and religious garments, which are then assembled on panel in an abstract patchwork. Favoring fabrics with a neutral or subtle cool palette, she flattens and frays the material to explore color, form, and lines, reimaging used cloth into something all her own. Enslen has exhibited her work internationally and nationally for over twenty years and is featured in the permanent collections at the West Point Museum and the Paul W. Bryant Museum. More about the artist: Alaina Enslen is a mixed media artist residing in Cornwall-On-Hudson, New York, a small village in the Hudson Valley. Having lived in many states across the US as well as in Japan, Saudi Arabia, Portugal, and England, her experiences with diverse cultures, identities, and beliefs throughout her life have deeply influenced her work. Her paintings, encaustics, and collages draw from materials collected from her subjects, memorabilia, fabric, and objects from the environment. Over the last twenty years, her art has been shown internationally and nationally, including an exhibition in 2017 at the Caleidoscópio (University of Lisbon). Her work is part of the permanent collections at the West Point Museum and the Paul W. Bryant Museum. Over the last twenty years, she has received a number of grants and awards including a nomination for Best Temporary Exhibition 2016 from the Portuguese Museological Association for “Bird-watching” (Museu da Ciência, University of Coimbra, 2016) and a Luso-American Development Foundation travel grant for FOLIO 2016. Her most recent series, Remnants, employs encaustic and fabric in bold designs to convey the emotive properties of cloth as experience and memory.
