Xanadu. Kathy Goodson, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Through August 31, Asheville Gallery of Art presents In a Perfect World<\/em>\u2026, featuring oil paintings by Margie Kluska and encaustic works by Kathy Goodson. The gallery will host a reception on Friday, August 4, from 5\u20138 p.m.<\/p>\n

Kluska and Goodson brainstormed the show\u2019s titular theme together. \u201c[Kluska] and I talked about the layers we saw within our world and this led us to various views and takes on the world especially since COVID restrictions,\u201d says Goodson. \u201cIn a Perfect World\u2026<\/em> was our response, hers more representative landscapes and mine more abstract.\u201d Goodson discovered encaustics through another medium she works in: silk painting. \u201cIn silk painting, there is a wax technique which involves removing the wax and it is tedious,\u201d she says. \u201cI always wanted to be able to leave the wax in. Encaustic was the answer to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kluska uses oils to achieve subtle tones and the appearance of distance in her landscape paintings. \u201cWe are surrounded by such awesome beauty that I am compelled to capture it on canvas in an attempt to stir up inner feelings of splendor,\u201d she says. \u201cKathy and I have very different styles of art, but our subjects are the same. If we had our wish, every day would be beautiful, and that beauty would erase all our fears and concerns as we gaze at the world around us. My pieces were created to reflect this sentiment.\u201d<\/p>\n
