Light is a universal language that speaks to the soul, revealing truths and evoking emotions that words often fail to capture. Lupica explores the profound and multifaceted nature of light through the mediums of encaustic and cold wax and oil. These materials, with their unique textures and luminous qualities, allow her to delve into the essence of light and its interplay with shadow, form, and color.

Encaustic painting, with its rich history dating back to ancient times, provides a tactile and visceral connection to her subjects. The process of layering molten beeswax and pigment creates depth and translucency, mimicking the way light penetrates and transforms. The ability to fuse and carve the surface allows for a dynamic interplay of opacity and transparency, capturing the ephemeral and ever-changing nature of light.

Cold wax and oil painting offers a different yet complementary approach. The creamy, matte finish of cold wax mixed with oil paint enables Lupica to build textures and layers that echo the subtle gradations of light and shadow. This medium allows for a more meditative exploration of light's softer, more diffuse qualities, creating works that invite contemplation and introspection.

In this exhibition, Lupica is inspired by the ways light interacts with the natural world—how it dances across water, filters through trees, or casts long shadows at dawn and dusk. Each piece is an attempt to capture a fleeting moment, a transient beauty that invites the viewer to pause and reflect. The interplay of light and dark in her work mirrors the contrasts of life itself, offering a visual meditation on presence and absence, clarity and obscurity.

David C. Dixon focuses his work in Light on the minimalist photography definition of featuring a single subject with nature as the background, or nature itself as both background and subject. He uses common motifs in his minimalist works including geometric or repeating patterns, contrast in lines and texture, and emphasized depth and distance. This last element is often used to express a feeling of vastness and to try and capture the feeling of being in an incredibly open space in nature. In this series he uses film and digital (no A-I) to capture single moments, created by the ever-changing and always present power in our universe…Light.
