Lanoue Fine Art is pleased to announce its premiere solo exhibition for the New England based encaustic painter, Robin Luciano Beaty. Luciano Beaty, an innovative and accomplished mixed-media artist, was awarded the 2009 International Encaustic Painting Conference Award for Best in Show in the exhibition curated by Nicholas Capasso, chief curator of the Decordova Museum. Most recently, she was the winner of the "Spotlight on the Arts Award" for 'Outstanding Abstract Artist of 2009' and featured in "The Wire" Magazine as one of 2009's most intriguing artists.

Luciano Beaty states, “My process is driven by the visceral journey of discovering something reminiscent rather than the recording of a specific space. The medium of encaustic provides me with that exploratory means of expression in a way everyday artists’ techniques cannot. I incorporate vintage photographs, letters, textiles and other found objects into the encaustic. Its qualities are sublime and unpredictable, additive and subtractive, translucent and sculptural which strongly influences the direction of the painting. The act of scraping, tearing, building up and burning down the layers of wax from the surface is metaphor for digging into memory and allows me to navigate that internal journey.”
