Charyl Weissbach

 

 

 

 

 

 

Boston artist Charyl Weissbach has a BFA in painting and Art History from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Charyl's work demonstrates two uniquely different styles. In some, her encaustic and metal leaf creates a sense of design through patterns of flowers and leaves or trees. These works have become the Baroque Series and are based on a poplar tree in the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University. In her Lyre Series, Charyl uses encaustic, silk, and powdered marble on panel, and hones down her composition to a minimalist evocation of color and form. These works are about corals and climate change. Images of Charyl's paintings are featured in Italianità: Contemporary Art Inspired by the Italian Immigrant Experience, Encaustic Works 2012: A Biennial Exhibition in Print, 100 Artists of New England, Encaustic Arts Magazine, Boston Magazine’s Design Home, and Encaustic in the Twenty-First Century. She has exhibited within many museums throughout New England such as Art Complex, Danforth Art, Fuller Craft, Springfield and the Mattatuck Museum.

Artist Statement: I explore nature’s vastness, simplicity, and its fragility. These elements emit aesthetic sensations of harmony, expressions of timelessness, and feelings of inspiration that transcend space and time. The imagery of my work does not accurately represent nature; rather, I try to unveil an abstraction of its character to raise awareness for the preservation of our world.
