Christopher Meredith
"Mid Western muscle to Middle Eastern flourishes."

Christopher Meredith credits his experience in the U.S. Navy with spurring his already strong fascination with the Middle East. "Even as a child I would pour through National Geographic magazines at the library, fascinated by the bright, bold colors of the buildings, the fabrics, the food - everything.”

Chris works primarily in encaustic-a technique that dates back to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians. The process involves heating beeswax to a molten temperature, applying it to a support (a sculpture or panel) and then fusing pigment into it. The natural cooling of the wax seals in the color which can have successive layers. Many of Chris’ pieces have more than 25 layers.
