Graffiti #8 | 16"x 16"

This painting features so many paint splatters and swipes of pigment stick. Like all the others in the graffiti series, this piece has an energy that remains from the energetic strokes of the paint brush. 

The Graffiti series paintings all feature the same hallmarks. For starters, they are full of layers. Not only are there visible layers, but each painting is a rework of a prior painting that no longer spoke to me. In the visible layers there are bold swipes of wax, splattered paint, and deep gouges that hint at what lies beneath.

Graffiti #8 is 16"x 16" and is wired for hanging.

Due to the delicate nature of encaustic paintings, and special packing needs, this item is excluded from any free shipping offers and will ship via UPS. My priority is ensuring that the art arrives in your home free of damage, and that requires extra care.

Encaustic FAQs

Important shipping notes:

Encaustic is sensitive to temperature extremes, so shipping is sometimes delayed to Monday or Tuesday in order to avoid your art sitting on a truck over a weekend or holiday.

If your painting was subjected to temperature extremes during shipping, it's best to allow your package to acclimate to a temperature-controlled environment for 12-24 hours before opening. This minimizes the potential for damage during handling.

Where to hang your art:

Hot temperatures can cause the wax to soften, and cold temperatures can cause it to become brittle and more prone to chipping.

UV rays can fade certain pigments, and direct sunlight often causes excessive heat, which can soften your painting.

Tips to maintain encaustic paintings:

For the first 1-2 years, the wax in your painting will continue to bloom. Buff using a clean lint-free cloth (like a t-shirt), or even the palm of your hand (remove jewelry first!)

Sometimes the structure of the painting can't withstand buffing. In these cases, it's best to skip buffing the delicate areas.
