he brain likes to recognize the world around it, likes to give it names. A dress, a man, a tree. Purple.

Vacation. Democracy.

Some names hold many names — not just flowers, but daisies, petunias and bluebonnets. Others are entirely personal — Mom, fear, sweetheart. When we see an odd shape in our environs, we search for an explanation, a definition: a trick of the light, perhaps, or a foreshortened view. Even our own baffling responses to situations can get a tidy stamp of explanation: I was tired, hungry, crabby, punch drunk. We define ourselves, our lives, within our vocabularies.

But artists go the other way. Instead of trying to wrap up the world with words, they explore the other side.

The side that is able to transcend the sensible and start digging. And so a bear can totter on a tricycle, a peace sign can be made of guns or a winning general can look weary and beaten even as he is declared the victor.

This summer, local galleries are featuring a wide array of artists, of diggers. Sculptures, paintings, photographs, jewelry — the options are many and varied. Spend some time cruising through the art houses of Vail and Beaver Creek, and discover something inexplicable.

he artist, simply known as Britten, has always explored the universal elements of nature to express her aesthetic sensitivity. Through the application of multiple layers of oil, resin and, perhaps, gold, silver or copper leaf, her luminous paintings invite the viewer’s explorations.

The theme of Britten’s summer collection is titled Momentum. She says that to her, the word “momentum,” is “movement and change with a clear intention” and that she has been playing with new materials, new media and new subjects — all with a feeling of motion.

“It’s about experience for me. It’s all about tactile, sensual experience of life — how light bounces and reflects and creates a path to follow. I do the same thing: I just go forward and follow whatever whim I have,” Britten says, pensively.

“Like a train making stops along the tracks,” she continues, “I have been collecting ideas and moving forward.”

In her upcoming book, Britten describes her methodology of being true to her instincts and intuition and allowing them to take her to whatever adventure is created. “The book is a creative tour guide of where I’ve been with my paintings and lays the tracks for new discoveries.”

Pulitzer Prize historian David McCullough once said, “There is a

wonderful, distinctive charm in the work of Stokely Webster. He has a quality comprised of affection for the world and a great understanding of light and value and in the landscapes especially, a strong sense of place.”

As a child, Webster spent hours in museums copying old masters — said to be “the equivalent of finger exercises for an instrumentalist.” That gave him a technique in which messages from the eye were translated into orders to the hand, which were instantly obeyed.

Webster, who was greatly influenced by artist Claude Monet, has been described as a “lyric” painter, catching emotion on the wing and fixing it for all eternity. It might be his use of heavy oil, a palette knife or, perhaps his pointillist technique. And he paints very quickly.

Once asked about the speed of his painting, Webster answered, “’Quickness’ is important because when you paint out doors the way I do, the sun changes, shadows change and unless you can get it down fairly quickly, you get a mishmash of different lighting effects instead of the one you really liked.”

Webster’s breathtaking work is in numerous permanent collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Smithsonian Institution and The White House. C. Anthony Gallery is the only gallery in the United States that represents Webster.

Claggett/rey gallery The Claggett/Rey Gallery in Vail has been selling fine art since 1989. The gallery represents more than 40 artists, each with a national reputation for quality, which is what has given the gallery its staying power.

oday, it’s easy to equate the Civil War with the abolishment of slavery.

That’s the obvious issue, one that has a significant and applicable vocabulary even now.

But the Civil War was more than a fight about who gets to be declared a free man, and the end of that war didn’t simply put an end to plantations.

“This is probably the most important event in our history,” says Bill Rey, owner of Claggett/Rey Gallery in Vail.

“It became the birth certificate for the nation. We have our freedoms and our unified country even today because of the honorable dignity with which the Civil War ended.”

He’s not talking about the fact that the war ended, but how it did.

After years of struggle, hunger and strife, General Grant, officers of his staff, General Lee and his secretary, Colonel Charles Marshall, met to sign and witness the surrender in Wilmer MacLean’s living room in the village of Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia.

General Lee was dressed in his finest, certain that upon delivering his signature of surrender he would be taken into custody. General Grant and his team, battle-stained and weary, offer no celebratory looks. There is an air of realization that, though it might be over, the battle was costly for both sides.

Excruciatingly so. And perhaps that is why Grant and Lee both enforced the peace — and eventual unity — with dignity, instead of blunt force.

“The magnitude of the signing and surrender was so significant to the witnessing Union officers, they virtually stripped the room bare of all the furnishings after Lee’s departure,” Rey explains.

Later, troops cut away pieces of

the curtains and furniture in order to have some memento of the occasion, something to pull out when they were retelling the story about where they were when the South surrendered.

Despite the momentous occasion, almost a hundred years after the fact there were still no historically significant studies. Most illustrations were caricatures, not true depictions.

And so in preparation of its centennial remembrance of the Civil War, the National Geographic Society commissioned Tom Lovell, one of the finest living historic illustrators, to paint the scene.

“He went on to become one of the greatest Western illustrators of the time,” Rey says about Lovell, who considered himself a storyteller with a brush. “He was meticulous in his research.”

After it was used in an issue of National Geographic, “Surrender at Appomattox” was stuck in a cheap frame and went into the vaults, occasionally loaned to a museum here and there. When the National Geographic Society decided to deaccession 232 of its nearly 11.5 million items last year, it went to Christie’s for auction. Rey saw it in the catalogue and decided to try for it. It will be the centerpiece to Claggett/Rey’s celebration of the surrender’s 150-year anniversary.

“Right now it’s not for sale,” Rey says. “We are just enjoying owning it.”

But it is on display in the Vail gallery, housed in a new frame with 22 karat gold.

“In my opinion, it’s a real jewel for the city of Vail to have right now,” he says. “It will probably end up somewhere on a national scale.“ — By Wren Bova

or many artists at Cogswell Gallery, art runs in the family.

Stephen LeBlanc, a bronze artist, has been working with Cogswell for around 27 years. His daughter Renée, now a painter also represented by the gallery, was only 4 or 5 then. Sculptor Marianne Caroselli has been showing her bronzes here for nearly as long as LeBlanc, and now her daughter Scy, also a bronze artist, shows her work in the gallery as well.

It was impossible for Renée Buller not to be exposed to nature and art with Stephen LeBlanc as her father.

LeBlanc’s bronzes expose a lifetime of anatomy study and a love of wildlife. They are so realistic that they feel as though they may suddenly spring into action. Stephen LeBlanc’s sculptures can be found on many college campuses, including the buffalo outside Folsom Stadium at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

LeBlanc travels extensively throughout the world so that he can view animals in their natural environments, which has led him to become the host of several television shows, including “Ford Trucks Takes PBR Outdoors,” in which he guides professional bull riders on hunts. “Coming to the Dance” exposes his meticulous attention to anatomical details.

While Renée Buller definitely inherited her father’s love of nature and his artistic talent, after apprenticing under her father, she found her niche in painting rather than sculpture. Buller photographs her encounters with wildlife in nature, and then recreates them later using oils on linen. She

incorporates contrasting styles within her paintings.

In “Evening Gathering,” the soft impressionistic background, compared to the realistic grosbeaks, allows the viewer to really focus in on the detail of the birds.

Marianne and Scy Caroselli are a mother-daughter pair of bronze sculptors originally from New Jersey. They work together whenever possible and even have travelled to Italy to study sculpting together. Marianne spent many years painting before dedicating her talent entirely to sculpting. While the subject of Marianne’s work ranges from wildlife and Southwestern themes to the human figure, she is best known for her lifelike renderings of children.

Depicted doing a variety of activities such as fishing, reading and playing with puppies, Marianne Caroselli’s children possess the true innocence and playfulness of childhood. “Earth Angel” is a young girl with angel wings.

She holds her dress in such a way that this bronze may actually be used as a working bird bath in a lovely garden.

After much encouragement from her mother, Scy Caroselli began focusing on her own art career. She also sculpts a range of subjects including wildlife, women in the wine country and children. It is evident in much of her figurative work that she is focuses on the strength and beauty of women. However, in her piece “Precious Cargo,” depicting a young girl with a wheelbarrow full of puppies, it is clear that she has followed closely in her mother’s footsteps.

Cogswell Gallery For more than 30 years, Cogswell Gallery, located in the heart of Vail Village, has represented the finest artwork.

Gallery owner John Cogswell has created a collection of painters and sculptors whose common denominator in the visual arts is an unrequited love affair with the beauty of nature. In addition to new, fresh artwork, the gallery also carries European jewelry designs along with its classic collection of Native American silver jewelry.

lthough she started her career as a photographer, Anke Schofield is now best known for paintings that convey things no one could ever take a picture of. Filled with wonder and imagination, Schofield’s new work focuses on not what we can see, but what we could envision if we stopped limiting ourselves to that which already exists.

“The whole (idea) is based on living through a child’s eyes,” Schofield says.

“If you were a child and had dreams, what would you want to see? What would you like life to look like?”

For a child, anything is possible. A young girl can run alongside horses or ride a zebra if she wants to. A dog can perch atop a house, or a house can sit perfectly balanced atop a dog.

“A girl can’t actually ride a deer, but in a child’s mind she can,” explains Schofield when discussing one of her new pieces, “Deer Ride”, that depicts a child riding the hoofed animal while carrying a house on a string behind her.

Schofield’s work explores what we often deem impossible, but the young girl in many of her paintings is actually inspired by a real person. The daughter of an artist-friend, Schofield says while the girl she knows is growing up, she won’t be in her paintings.

“I don’t want her to get old,”

Schofield says. “I think it would just ruin it. It’s more about the innocence of a child at that age.

I’m trying to capture that state.”

Along with not putting limitations on her images, Schofield thinks people should be free to react to her art however they wish.

“Make it up for yourself,” Schofield instructs. “I want the viewers to go into the painting with their own interpretation.”

Because she creates her canvases using multiple layers of paint, Schofield is always creating more than one piece at a time.

“If I just had one painting, I’d have to sit there and watch it dry,” Schofield says.

This way of thinking is exactly what Schofield is trying to get at with her art. No child would wait around watching paint dry. Instead they’d chose to start painting something else, take a nap on an antelope or put on a pair of wings because they felt like flying for a while. Viewing Schofield’s work reminds us that just because we haven’t seen it for our own eyes, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Gib Singleton

A – 20 ART 2013

–

s a 5-year-old, Gib Singleton drew figures of Christ in the dirt with a stick on his family’s farm in southeast Missouri. He formed his first sculptures using mud and straw and drew with pencil stubs on paper sacks.

Like other great painters and sculptors the world has seen, Gib didn’t have a choice about his life path.

“He is a classic example of an artist who can’t not be an artist,” says John Goekler, the head of the Gib Singleton Museum of Fine Art in Santa Fe. To that point, there was a time in Gib’s life when he lived on the street and sold his work out of his car, sometimes trading his art for cheeseburgers just to stay alive.

Things couldn’t be more different now.

Gib’s work can be found in major art institutions around the world, from the Museum of Modern Art in New York to the Vatican Museum in Rome. And in November, the Gib Singleton Gallery opened in Vail. The modern, lightfilled space contains Gib’s Biblical and Western sculptures, some of which are small, tabletop size, such as his “Pieta.” In the early ’70s, Gib helped restore a Michelangelo sculpture of the same name after it was vandalized.

While Gib makes 3D art, there’s a fourth dimension to his pieces — an emotional, spiritual component — that resonates with his collectors.

If a piece doesn’t have that, it simply doesn’t work, Gib says.

Speaking of that fourth dimension, the stunning “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” is one of the first

pieces gallery visitors see when they step through the gallery door. It is a piece Gib’s late daughter, Alexis, asked him to make over and over.

At 25, she died of a heroin overdose and shortly after, Gib made the sculpture and dedicated it to her.

Despite his poor health, Gib still sculpts when he is able. Using wax instead of clay, he shapes things he often dreams about first.

“People ask me how I create my art, and all I can say is, I get a message — you can say from God or the universe or whatever term makes sense to you.

If I do a good rendering, it touches your heart; it doesn’t come from me, it comes through me,” Gib says.

Indeed, Goekler has watched Gib work with his eyes closed.

“You can put your hand in front of his face and he won’t even see it,” Goekler says. “He sees pictures in his mind, his hands are manifesting it.”

Aside from Gib’s wife, Eve, Goekler is the man who spends perhaps the most time with the bronze master, talking to Gib about his work, his storied life, and the in-betweentwo-worlds place where Gib lives in now. Gib is the first to say he’s living on borrowed time. In 2004, Gib entered into hospice care and was given six days to live. Instead of dying, Gib went on to sculpt perhaps his most renowned series — the 14 Stations of the Cross. Thirty-three sets of the Stations are to be cast in each maquette and life-size. The edition size is based on the age of Jesus when he was crucified.

Horton Fine ArT At Horton Fine Art, visitors have the tendency to fall in love with art. Casual passersby and collectors alike find much to enjoy, whether it’s the beauty of nature or the antics of bronze bears. Representing a variety of artists, the sheer diversity of style, medium and subject matter is dizzying.

rt is no static entity at Horton Fine Art, but a living, changing organism.

“When we thought about having a gallery of our own, we wanted it to be a place where people saw art created,” explains Peggy Horton, who opened the Beaver Creek gallery with her belated husband, Walt Horton, in 2009. “We want people to enjoy being here and we want them to have an experience.

I think people who come to Vail and Beaver Creek are people who enjoy not just having but experiencing.”

Watching a life-sized bear emerge from clay within the gallery walls gives another dimension to the artistic experience. Horton Fine Art is not simply a museum where one can buy beautiful things — it’s a place dedicated to and involved in the process of creation.

Walt, one of America’s most beloved bronze sculptors, had a knack for making beautiful, whimsical and humorous bronze art. He was known for perfecting each of his sculptures, sometimes redoing the eyes of a piece 70 or 80 times in order to get it right. His dream was to have a gallery that doubled as a working studio where visitors could watch art being created. Though he’s gone now, his legacy resides in the gallery, where his wife, Peggy, and son, Jesse, carry on with the concept of a working gallery. Jesse, a bronze sculptor in his own right, recently completed an

8-foot bear at play, right in the middle of the gallery. But he’s not the only artist who uses the gallery as a studio.

Visiting painters show how they take a thought, idea or vision and use their talent and experience to bring their canvas alive with color. Throughout the season several artists in residence will be working on their creations within the gallery’s rooms, sometimes lost in the creative process and other times connecting with visitors.

Among many talented representational painters, well-known Colorado artist Carrie Fell’s bold watercolors and acrylics of modern cowboys and cowgirls are now a beautiful addition to the multitalented collection of artists. Painter Marie Channer focuses on horses and the West, though she’s recently completed a series of paintings influenced by flamenco dancers. Utah landscape painter Douglas Aagard turns his brushes to the mountains, the plains and everything in between. Amy Ringholz’s inspired array of boldly colored animals starts with ink drawings over which she layers color after color. Painter Santiago Michalek is inspired by vintage-model Volkswagen Beetles and buses.

“Art takes us beyond the everyday problems of life,” explains Peggy.

“Part of being human is appreciating beauty — we don’t see that in other creatures in the world.”

But it can be seen at Horton Fine Art. — By Simone Crotzer

J. cotter gallery The J. Cotter Gallery is an internationally recognized gallery of contemporary designer jewelry and art, featuring designs by leading artists from the United States and Europe.

Opened in 1970 with the premise that jewelry should be considered an art form, it’s established a clientele who share the feeling that jewelry is a silent form of communication which speaks of the wearer’s individual taste.

Jim Cotter, Goldsmith, Sculptor & Installation Artist

T

rying to pin down a title for Jim Cotter is like chasing a bumblebee through spring. He sculpts. He designs jewelry. He embeds diamonds in concrete. He makes masks. He plays with Styrofoam and wires. He… thinks.

“I’m an idea person,” he says. “I have ideas all the time. I like to have them, and then go out and see if they work. And some of them do.”

Many of them do, actually.

Cotter began his career in Vail Village making jewelry, where he still has a gallery. He also has a second gallery in Beaver Creek.

Both spots carry his creations, as well as work from a smattering of other artists. Though he visits his galleries daily, most of his time is spent at his studio in Minturn.

Cotter became well known for his wide bands, often with large stones.

The bands look both decadent and organic. He’s also got a big following for his Vail “V” heart.

“It’s great, but I don’t like to make the same thing over and over again,” he says.

Which is why he has so many other projects. Some people doodle; Cotter makes masks. He incorporates them into rings, necklaces, wall art, sculptures and more.

“I’ve always loved masks and making them,” he says. “I think I was a fashion designer back in primitive times. I often think about why I make them, and I don’t really know why.”

Yet he’s still following their lure,

changing the way he casts them, pushing them further. They’ve been called Asian, Southwest, primitive, folk — and the truth is they’re all those things.

“The greatest thing that ever happened to me was being called an artist,” he says. “Because artists have more freedoms than anybody else.

You can do weird things and have fun and not be judged.”

Dan Telleen, Jeweler

D

an Telleen introduced his bold, organic designs to Vail in 1970, and since then, he has been instrumental in defining Vail jewelry.

He creates unique, fluid pieces people can only find in Vail.

He demonstrates the universal themes of time and evolution by incorporating fossils, collectible coins, meteorites, and even lightningstruck sand into his jewelry. By employing the theme of time, he links people with history — both ancient and recent. For example, he may integrate an 1856 U.S. flying eagle penny into a necklace, update a grandmother’s keepsake cameo with a new design, or add a halfbillion-year-old fossil to a pendant.

As a result, his elegant jewelry not only holds the intrinsic value of gold and precious stones, but also includes a fascinating charm.

“We are all intrigued by these things we are connected to,” he said, be it a nation’s currency, primitive life, or, in the case of meteorites, the universe.

Part of Telleen’s appeal involves the connections he makes not only through his designs, but also with the people who stroll into his warm, adobe gallery, which also doubles as a studio. He sits down with customers and talks about exactly what they want, then creates pieces to fit both their aesthetics and their budgets.

He likens his creative jewelry making to the process of a jazz musician: He envisions how a set of prongs or a piece of wax might evolve, and then

he fluidly “helps it grow” from there.

“It’s sort of like playing jazz — listening to the note that was played and imagining the note that should come next,” he said.

And much like a musician, he may take ideas he worked with in the past and put a new spin on them.

In fact, he’s currently designing a bracelet from a fragment of a bracelet design he started in 1975.

“I never finished it because I couldn’t see where it was going,” he said. “But now I do.”

When possible, he likes to add versatility to jewelry, such as a pearl necklace that breaks apart into two bracelets.

“It’s one thing to make a piece versatile,” he said. “It’s another thing to make it tasteful and easily versatile. I don’t like to sacrifice design for versatility.”

So he continues to expand his “visual vocabulary,” one that includes textures and curves and straight, jagged and dotted lines, he said.

Then, each piece he completes inspires the next.

“You can go right or left in your design process, but just because on one day you went left doesn’t mean right was a bad idea,” he said. “I think building a body of work is done by realizing the potential of roads not taken.”

Telleen’s an artist who doesn’t follow design trends, but rather creates his own. In this way, he continues to pioneer the one-ofa-kind look of jewelry in Vail.

if you don’t know the animals,” he says. “You can’t put real soul into the piece if you haven’t experienced it.”

Martha, on the other hand, finds inspiration in everything she sees.

Rarely do five minutes go by in a day that she doesn’t see something that her mind reinvents as a bronze sculpture or oil painting.

“Sometimes you hear people say, ‘I’m out of ideas.’ I just can’t understand this,” she says. “The world is full of ideas. You just have to open your eyes.”

Landscapes, plants, trees, animals of every sort (even whimsical) … the freshness of Martha’s inspiration is evident in every piece. With her famous Native American women, for example, you’ll find that no woman has the same face or figure and colors find their way into her paintings in layer upon layer of color changes. Her interest in oil painting was rekindled, and Del’s sparked when the couple took a several-month trip to St. Miguel de Allende, Mexico and were struck by all the colors around them.

While they love taking each other’s professional advice and sharing ideas, sculpting and painting is not a companion activity for the Pettigrews.

Their studio — a converted garage — is small and full of two artists’ easels and partially finished projects. Plus, Martha prefers working to rock ‘n’ roll music and Del to Barry Manilow. So they split their time in the studio.

“Martha is more of a night person, whereas I’ll get up in the morning and work on a painting,” Del says.

But they both agree on the importance of art… and creation.

nox Gallery’s Martha and Del Pettigrew may live in the same house and make similar art, but their hands are very different Yes, they both make bronze sculptures and create oil paintings pertaining to nature, but Martha and Del Pettigrew are two very different artists.

Martha’s creative work dates back before her university studies in Fine Art and her ensuing position as an illustrator for a natural history museum while Del’s kicked off just 20 years ago.

“We had about $36 left and thought we should start doing art as a profession,” Del jokes. “We decided to become sculptors and chose the most expensive medium there is.”

Bronze it was. And because they were thoroughbred breeders and spent a great deal of time around horses, Martha’s initial series of bronze work was focused on equines.

At first, Del got his start as Martha’s “right-hand man.” But then he caught his own artistic bug, beginning with bronze and later adding oil painting.

“His style is totally different from mine. I have a smooth look to my work, his is very impressionistic,” Martha says.

Also, Del finds his inspiration in animals that he has actually seen in the flesh. He has never sculpted or painted African animals, for instance, because he has never been to Africa. He mentions one piece he did of a mother grizzly and her cubs, inspired by a scene he came across (and quickly abandoned for his own safety) while fishing in Wyoming.

uring Utah’s Sundance Film Festival, pop artist DeVon has hosted enough concerts at his Park City gallery to become aware that DJs are now rivaling rock stars in becoming modern pop icons.

Similar to the way DJs remix and blend well-known songs and verses, DeVon takes iconic images of celebrities and rearranges the perspective via silkscreen, paint, tiny crystal pieces and a host of other mediums.

“What I’m seeing with the DJ world today is the collaborative element.

Among themselves they exchange ideas,” DeVon says. “I guess you could say I’m kind of a visual DJ.” As he did with reworking images of historic pop icons like Elvis, Audrey Hepburn, Bridgett Bardot and even Batman (these pieces are on display at Masters Gallery), DeVon has recently cast a new light on current stars, doing portraits of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Avicci and Afrojack.

Several modern day celebrities are collectors of DeVon’s work and a few, like Mariah Carey, have made some interesting special requests.

“It turns out she actually owns Marilyn Monroe’s piano,” DeVon says of Carey. “We’ve been talking about doing a pop-art image of Marilyn playing that piano.”

It’s not just about redistributing a recognizable face or a famously captured pose. DeVon is constantly

looking at images – both iconic and obscure – in a quest to find those that capture the characters’ persona in their purest essence of fame.

“What I do is interpret an image and ask myself what do I feel next after looking at it? I express those feelings in my pieces. “I try to log into a feeling that resonates,” he explains. “It’s a language of the unconscious. I’m taking the next step after looking at an image and asking why is it pop culture? Why does it resonate with so many people?”

Although DeVon is a great admirer of Andy Warhol and both artists use a base of silkscreen and have similar subjects, their approach and overarching themes are quite different.

“Warhol would take bland things and put them up as a movement,” DeVon says. “Warhol did Superman in a simple way. I like to bring collage in. I borrow an image of say, Batman.

Then I borrow Leonardo Davinci’s Vitruvian Man. I’ve got Batman centered in a circle and square. It’s a modern day Vitruvian Man.” With the combination of paint, collage, digital solvents, sparkle paint and even Comic book and magazine pages, DeVon’s layers of medium add to the layers of his unique perspective.

Over the past 25 years, these wonderful photographs have become some of the most beloved and iconic images of the American West.

Each photograph is a work of art, hand printed in the traditional “wet” process. These sepia toned silver gelatin prints are made to the highest archival/museum standards, including museum-quality frames.

The photographs of Lonesome Dove will show July 1-31, 2013.

Earl Schofield

F

rom the time he can remember, artist Earl Schofield, who grew up in rural Massachusetts, was fascinated with nature.

“When I was a kid, I pretty much never came home dry,” Schofield fondly remembers. “Visually, I was entranced with the complexity of the things that I saw, from the moss on trees to the different patterns in rocks.

I was fascinated by some of the things that I saw in nature and I don’t think that fascination has ever left me. As I got older, my priorities changed and I became more of a modernist rather than a strict realist. But that early connection is probably the primary feel for all of my art.”

By the time Schofield was a freshman in high school, he knew that he wanted to be an artist. “I was always into art and I remember being very competitive about it,” he says with a laugh. “It was comics in fourth grade and a drawing contest in middle school. I was always the third best kid.”

Schofield is an encaustic painter — a centuries-old technique that involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The liquid/ paste is then applied to a surface — sometimes prepared wood, canvas or other materials.

“I fell into this technique by accident,” reveals Schofield. “I used cold wax, oil paint and a palette knife, exclusively, for about ten years. But, then I felt that I was getting too realistic with the palette knife. I wanted to be more expressive.

I wanted something with less control.

I knew about encaustic painting for a period of time and when I switched to the real stuff, the heated wax, it was like shaking off cement shoes. It was

so much faster and so much easier. I fell in love with it, almost immediately, and have never looked back.”

Marc LeVarn, co-owner of Vail International Gallery, gets a myriad of questions when clients see Schofield’s work hear about his use of wax. “Will it melt? Can I put it above a fireplace?

Can I put it in Texas?” they ask.

As LeVarn explains, “Earl Schofield has shot his encaustic paintings with a 16- gauge shotgun, scratched the wax out down to the gesso and even set his paintings on fire. Yet, if you go to the Denver Art Museum you’ll find one of his works on the wall around the corner from Warhol’s. Why? Because they’re original paintings that make full use of the versatile, mercurial and difficult media of encaustic.

“After the initial questions, people really look and see. They see the roughness of the surface above the beauty of the landscape, the detail and abstraction, the translucent depth and opaque meaning of paintings that probe greater mysteries and ask deeper questions than they initially conjured.”

However, it’s Schofield who best answers the questions. “For artists and for what we call ‘painter’s painters,’ it’s all about the relationship to the medium. The physicality of it. The smush. The gush. It’s the joy of the material. It’s why we come back and do it. And the encaustic can’t be beat for that. It’s like watercolor, but in 3D. It’s very difficult to control. Not many people used it representationally.

But then, it’s very versatile. It has this incredible yummy factor.”
