Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, “Forged in Fire” is a large-scale contemporary encaustic painting that embodies transformation and resilience. This captivating large-scale contemporary encaustic painting (120 x 80 cm) draws viewers into its depths through masterfully layered hot wax, vibrant inks, and luminous shellac. This stunning piece by Leonie E. Brown, a mid-career artist selling internationally, is a testament to the human experience. Just as our experiences shape us, each layer of encaustic wax is carefully melted, fused, and transformed by fire, creating depth and luminosity impossible to achieve with other mediums.

Encaustic art wax painting is an ancient technique that creates a sense of movement and energy. “Forged in Fire” showcases this unique style, with swirling turquoise depths, fierce coral highlights, and emerald undertones that seem to capture light itself. The tactile nature of the piece invites you to explore the interplay between smooth and textured areas, making it a truly immersive experience.

The encaustic hot wax technique behind this piece speaks to the very essence of human experience. Just as our experiences shape us, each layer of encaustic wax is carefully melted, fused, and transformed by fire. The artist begins with three foundational layers of gesso, representing our earliest influences, before building up translucent layers of hot wax mixed with damar resin and raw pigments. This ancient technique, dating back to Egyptian times, creates a depth and luminosity impossible to achieve with other mediums.

Forged in Fire” showcases the unique properties of encaustic art, where each layer becomes permanently bonded to the ones beneath it through the application of heat. The result is a painting that seems to capture light itself, with colours that shift and change as you move around the piece.

What makes this piece truly special is its tactile nature. The surface begs to be touched. This physicality, combined with the painting’s impressive scale, creates an immersive viewing experience that transforms any space it inhabits.
