8/19 - Nipple Flash - Framed Open Edition Photo Encaustic NZ$60

Nipple Flash is an open edition photo encaustic artwork that embraces the subtle beauty of the human form through suggestion rather than revelation. Created from my original black and white photograph, the image is layered beneath molten beeswax, where soft veils of texture and light transform the photograph into something timeless and painterly.

The partially obscured figure emerges gently from the monochrome surface, inviting the viewer to pause rather than simply observe. The encaustic medium blurs the boundaries between photography and painting, creating an atmosphere of quiet intimacy where texture, shadow, and form become as important as the image itself.

Rich surface markings and the luminous quality of the wax evoke a sense of memory and impermanence, while the restrained palette allows the composition to remain elegant and contemplative. Framed in black, this hand-finished artwork offers a sophisticated statement piece for collectors drawn to contemporary figurative art and tactile photographic processes.

Each open edition piece is individually finished using the ancient encaustic technique,
ensuring subtle variations in the wax surface that make every artwork uniquely its own.
