The amazing \u003cem\u003eFayum Mummy Portraits\u003c\/em\u003e painted with encaustic by the Greeks in Egypt, (late 1st century BCE or the early 1st century CE) are still fresh, vibrant, and exhibited today in the world's greatest museums. Artist Jasper Johns is credited with the modern renaissance of encaustic fine art with his work that began in the 1950's. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ePainting with encaustic involves melting, applying, then heat fusing layers of beeswax mixed with various mediums. The technique generates a luminous, rich surface that brings visual beauty and depth to the wax. Back from obscurity, modern tools have made the process more practical for encaustic artistry. The protective nature of the beeswax helps maintain freshness and preservation of color, preventing the wax from darkening or turning yellow. Impervious to moisture, these pieces need not be varnished or put under glass. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eCarrie Goller interprets this ancient medium into contemporary works. Illuminated in brilliant color or delicate opalescence, her compositions encompass oversized serene seascapes \u0026amp; landscapes, to tiny whimsical country scenes. Goller states, \"I do not consider myself an \u003cem\u003e'encaustic artist'\u003c\/em\u003e, although I have instructed and work in that method. I am an artist that works in a variety of media; encaustic just happens to be one of them. The idea and expression of the work inspires me more than the technique itself.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carrie Goller Gallery","offers":[{"title":"8x10 paper print","offer_id":44166637453399,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x14 paper print","offer_id":44166637486167,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x18 paper print","offer_id":44166637518935,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x20 paper print","offer_id":44166637551703,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 paper print","offer_id":44166637584471,"sku":null,"price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 paper print","offer_id":44166637617239,"sku":null,"price":360.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x48 paper print","offer_id":44166637650007,"sku":null,"price":520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30x40 paper print","offer_id":44166637682775,"sku":null,"price":520.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36x48 paper print","offer_id":44166637715543,"sku":null,"price":608.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x20 canvas print","offer_id":44166637748311,"sku":null,"price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 canvas print","offer_id":44166637781079,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36 canvas print","offer_id":44166637813847,"sku":null,"price":675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x48 canvas print","offer_id":44166637846615,"sku":null,"price":775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30x40 canvas print","offer_id":44166637879383,"sku":null,"price":775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36x48 canvas print","offer_id":44166637912151,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x8 paper print","offer_id":44166637944919,"sku":null,"price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12x12 paper print","offer_id":44166637977687,"sku":null,"price":112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x16 paper print","offer_id":44166638010455,"sku":null,"price":156.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x24 paper print","offer_id":44166638043223,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36x36 paper print","offer_id":44166638075991,"sku":null,"price":540.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x16 canvas print","offer_id":44166638108759,"sku":null,"price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x24 canvas print","offer_id":44166638141527,"sku":null,"price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"36x36 canvas print","offer_id":44166638174295,"sku":null,"price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30x36 canvas print","offer_id":44166638207063,"sku":null,"price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/0696\/0983\/files\/BoxofChocolates8x8150abstract.jpg?v=1786741356","url":"https:\/\/carriegollergallery.com\/products\/carrie-goller-prints-box-of-chocolates-original-8x-8","provider":"Carrie Goller Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
