About the Item

Drain – Encaustic and Oil Abstract by Arminée Chahbazian (2015) Oil encaustic on framed wood panel, 12 × 12 in, 2015 “Drain” continues Chahbazian’s exploration of matter, memory, and release. Executed in encaustic and oil, the painting’s textured surface feels alive—layered with pigments that breathe and shift with light. A graduate of Yale University’s painting program, Chahbazian has built a career examining how materials carry emotion. Here, she merges the physical and the psychological: the notion of “drain” as both exhaustion and renewal. The tactile beeswax surface suggests sediment, erosion, and recovery, echoing natural cycles that mirror the human condition. Known for her ability to merge abstraction with narrative sensitivity, Chahbazian invites viewers into a dialogue between surface and spirit. This small-scale work radiates depth, embodying her lifelong study of transformation and resilience.

Chasmanthium Insignias: Abstract Encaustic Painting with Green, Earth Tones
By Allyson Levy
Located in Hudson, NY
Abstract encaustic painting with a green, earth toned palette. Made with natural plant material (Northern Sea Oats) "Chasmanthium Insignias I" made by Allyson Levy in 2021 encaustic and plant material on wood panel, 24 x 24 x 1 inches Lightweight, hangs with one d-ring, Signed, verso This modern abstract encaustic painting by Allyson Levy is made with Northern Sea Oats and green encaustic, sealed with a layer of neutral wax on a wood panel. The artist begins by finding the organic material in her 4-acre garden in upstate New York which she then arranges and embeds with encaustic on a wooden panel. The brown, earth toned sea oats are laid in a linear pattern on a wood panel with a surface of green encaustic and then sealed with clear wax. The encaustic wraps around to the sides of the panel, revealing some bumps and downward drips, accumulated during the natural drying process. The piece is lightweight and hangs on one d-ring. About the artist and her work: After moving to the rural town of Stone Ridge, NY seventeen years ago and starting a 4-acre botanical garden with her husband, mixed media artist, Allyson Levy, has found endless inspiration in the plant kingdom that surrounds her. The garden itself, named “Hortus Conclusus”, consisting of thousands of rare plants and edibles, remains at the epicenter of Levy’s art making. A fascination with earth’s bounty is expressed with her works in encaustic. Assorted organic material such as leaves, seeds, branches, insect wings...
