Oil and Encaustic on Pigmented Ricepaper and Cherrywood Panel
38x40 inches
Woven layers of painted rice paper
incompletely cover a cherrywood panel;
the paper and the cherry saturated with encaustic medium.
Above these layers of “real” material lies
a painted image layer of oil paint,
a surface veneer painted onto the underlying solid foundation.
Whether “real” or “represented”,
this piece comes from a very realist mindset.

Sharon Hogg is a visual artist working in Calgary Alberta and Lombardy Ontario, Canada. She holds a Bachelors of Fine Art and a Masters of Fine Art from the Alberta College of Art and Design.
Where humans intersect with unseen natural forces, she imagines what lies behind or beneath the surface. More than seeing, she wants to feel the backstory, the understory, the glue that holds it all together. Her work seeks to bring that underlying level of awareness closer to the visible and the touchable.
The Sublime, New Materialism and the Vorticists are influences.
