New works by painter and printmaker
Nathan Margalit on view at Slifka Center
Margalit is a renowned painter and printmaker with works in public and private
collections in the United States, South Africa, Canada, Australia and Germany.
Born in Israel and raised in South Africa, Margalit currently lives and works
in Amherst, Massachusetts, where he has his studio.
The artist’s new works are constructed in paint and collage. The raw
material used in these works are altered book-pages. The works are primarily
created in the Encaustic medium, a painting technique that consists of suspending
color pigment in a solution of hot wax and resin. The wax solution serves as
both medium and adhesive for the collage elements. Using the hotplate as palette,
the paint is applied to the surface of the canvas with brush; the multiple
layers of paint fuse through the heating process.
There will be an opening reception and discussion with the artist 4-6 p.m.
on Tuesday, Sept. 18. The event is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday and 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday.
