About the Item

encaustic on Dibond b. 1954, Reno Nevada Abstract painter Michael David is best known for his use of encaustic, which incorporates pigment with heated beeswax. He discovered encaustic while studying at Parsons School of Design in New York in 1975. David says of the medium, “I loved the immediacy of the process, the physicality, and how I was able to embed objects and create narrative in abstraction. I felt it was a perfect actualization of myself through painting.” Considered an inheritor of Abstract Expressionism, David’s abstract work primarily centers on the use of a densely layered surface to facilitate a direct and immediate spiritual experience. He often incorporates religious iconography and symbolism, art historical themes such as the nude, and contemporary politics into his paintings resulting in a critical dialogue between the layered abstraction of the surface and the integrated representational imagery. His work is included in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Guggenheim Museum in New York; the Jewish Museum in New York; Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, various awards from the National Endowment for the Art, The Edward F Albee Foundation in Montauk, NY, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. b. 1954, Reno Nevada Abstract painter Michael David is best known for his use of encaustic, which incorporates pigment with heated beeswax.

Visions in the Night
By Morgan Fite
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
From my series called Lessons from Winter, inspired by my process of discovering and embracing the beauty, mystery, and warmth of the coldest and darkest season of the year.

About the Artist
Abstract artist and Tennessee-native Morgan Fite paints delicate compositions that allude to natural forms and changing light. She paints with neutral tones and feathery brushstrokes that give her art its soft and dreamlike quality. She is inspired by her travels and cites the earthy tones of Central Africa and the textures of Roman architecture as particularly influential. For each piece, she begins her process by selecting a color palette from her collection of flowers and rocks. Throughout her portfolio, Morgan strives to make art that invites, moves, and inspires.
