BETSY EBY | ATLANTIC
"In her paintings, Betsy Eby fuses the line between the musical and the visual composition...Eby utilizes the technique of encaustic, which means "to burn". The process is an ancient one by which layers of pigments, sap, and wax are fused together by the flame of a torch. Eby has slowly refined the technique to her own language, composing dynamic surfaces and deep, luminous spaces. Her paintings are visceral, yet for Eby they shimmer with something more of the mystical, hovering between material and immaterial worlds as do the worlds of sight and sound."
