Christopher Gerber~Artist Statement
Motion is to me what light is to the Impressionists. I am a “Kinetisist”, I study and emulate the ongoing motion of creation with a variety of mediums. .
I am currently working with “concrete in motion”. I use a soy based polymer enhanced concrete and pigments to paint dynamic and durable textures, and then further enhance these textures with translucent pigmented glazes of plant based epoxy to create a multi-dimensional viewing experience. From every angle different images and layers appear and disappear. My latest series “Noctiluca” .
Included in this website are some of my beeswax encaustic paintings. Beeswax is a sacred medium for me. The thought of hindered s of thousands of bees traveling to millions of flowers to create one pound of wax is constantly on my mind. Encaustic is an ancient technique blending soft wax, rigid plant resin, and pigments and fusing layers with heat to create resilient, beautiful, textural paintings.
I like to bring the energy of Nature and Flow into into my paintings, and thus into the room the paintings occupy. Many of my collectors are healing practitioners, I take this as the utmost compliment, my paintings generate a sense of dynamic tranquility conductive for a healing environment.
