I stopped in at the University City Arts League a few minutes ago to check out Michelle Marcuse’s show of encaustic paintings, “Hive and Hue.”
The imagery was a mix of shapes that suggested landscapes and architectural interiors and exteriors delivered in a flattened out, up-against-the-canvas pattern, any suggestions of spatial depth removed except through the layering of the waxy colors. For the most part, the colors were pale and sun-bleached.
