I am really digging the artwork of Matt Duffin. He works with encaustic wax on panel, which is something a little unusual that I am not totally familiar with. It definitely yields striking results.
A little more about Duffin:
“Matt Duffin was born in 1968 and grew up in Houston, Texas. He studied architecture, but never practiced as an architect. Instead, he chose to explore the more human themes of solitude and irony through art. His medium has evolved from charcoal to encaustic wax, but he continues to dwell in the realm of dark recesses and stark contrasts. He has lived in Spain, Costa Rica, and Taos, New Mexico and currently resides in northern California with his wife and two small children.”
