Encaustic beeswax on pane of glass (framed).
35x25"
The tittle of this body of work is called "1922". The painting is an encaustic bees wax on a pane of glass. The composition started when I stumbled across some old architectural sketches of ideas for buildings for downtown Guelph. The sketch consisted of an outline for a building with rooms inside of it for an office space. I used the foundation of this sketch as the inspiration in the beginning of the composition before I begin to crush and mix raw pigments to create the colours I desired. I kept a raw monochromatic palette to draw the simplicity and nostalgia the 1920's had brought. This gave me a feeling of depth and comfy in a way I couldn't explain; I feel this emotion every time I observe this piece to this day. I hope you find the same comforts I do in this empty room.
-Thank you, Austyn Tasi
Austyn Tasi is a modern artist who happens to live in Guelph Ontario, located in Canada. He’s been creating/studying art almost all of his life. It wasn’t till about four years ago though when he decided this was what he wanted for his life. Austyn began to take his artistic journey more seriously, trying to balance a sense for full avant-garde with a sense of classical and renaissance painting theory. He has never been one for words, preferring to talk with the paint instead. Hoping he can begin to express the journey he’s walked the past few years alongside creation in efforts to find and keep his own sanctuary for sanity.
-Thank you for your time, Austyn Tasi
