Encaustic Artist Robin Denevan employs layers of beeswax, oil paint, and natural resins to create visions of exotic locations from Asia and Latin America. The paintings glow with an inner light, and transend catagories of "abstraction" and "realism".

Encountering a Robin Denevan painting is a multi-sensory experience. This artist finds his motivation in his memories of trips to various exotic locations. Recent paintings find their origins in journeys down the Amazon, or China�s Yangtze River. But these paintings are not about mere recollection. They are about sensory recall. You don't just look at a Denevan'you touch it, smell it, nearly taste it. The layers of beeswax, resin, and paint in these works engage our senses, and in doing so, they drop us, not into the location depicted, but into the artist�s own vivid memories of that place.
