These are encaustic paintings by Angela Berkson, the featured artist at the Box Gallery. Berkson's floating circles are in a series that focuses on layers of paint, wax, gel medium, and occasionally mixed media under the layers. Berkson often divides the surface in two creating a wall for the circles to bounce off. The surface interacts with the composition suggesting slow movement. The majority of the circle paintings are small in scale. There are also a handful of larger pieces that depart from the circle series. The Box Gallery provides a good size space for the artist to display a large body of work.

Thanks for checking out my exhibit at Box. Are you going to be exhibiting any of your work in NM? -ab
I have nothing lined up yet. Hopefully there is a NM gallery that will want to show my work.
