This technique is part of a general revival of encaustic that began in the 1990s, although its inspiration comes from much earlier use of wax by Jasper Johns and a few other painters in early Pop Art works of the 1960s, including the well-known flags and targets. Wax and resin as varnishes have\u2014along with Encaustic itself\u2014been slowly gaining ground in the years since, and are finally achieving the wide-spread visibility and popularity they deserve.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"works by Aubrey Trinnaman\" alt=\"works by Aubrey Trinnaman\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artistsofutah.org\/15bytes\/08sep\/images\/aa.jpg\" width=\"440\" height=\"234\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the work of Aubrey Trinnaman, for example, the use of wax and resin over close-up photos of mouths creates a paradoxical sense of their immediacy as moist portals even as they become metaphors for our isolation and the difficulty of communicating. For this reason alone, it\u2019s worth stopping by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.accessart.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Art Access<\/a> to see this technique live, in 3-D, and with your own eyes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Aubrey Trinnaman, and her sister, painter Jamaica Trinnaman, are exhibiting at Art Access II Gallery\u00a0through October 10.
