Also, posted below, are excerpts from a couple of reviews from two summer shows: a solo show at Malton Gallery in Cincinnati, and a group show of Encaustic artists at the Haydon Art Center in Lincoln Neb: 

from the Journal Star in Lincoln: Among the largest of the paintings on view at Haydon are those by Chicago’s Dan Addington. The director of Gwenda Jay Gallery, where he promotes the work of other encaustic artists, Addington incorporates tar with his beeswax, giving his paintings a heavy darkness that perfectly fits their subject matter.

Mixing imagery, such as the deer’s head with full rack of antlers with a red cross on the forehead in “Everything We Look Upon” with romantic symbolism and iconography deeply layered into the wax, Addington creates powerfully charged objects that are explorations of myth, touching on classic themes of spirituality and loss. That gives works like “Angel of Ulster,” which takes a statue and gives it symbolic meaning, a haunting strength. -- view complete text at: http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2006/07/16/sunday_am/doc44b5801c7eac32076...



Also, From the Friday, May 19th, 2006 issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer: Chicago Artist Dan Addington's towering, moody encautic paintings dominate Divine Inspiration, an exhibit at the Malton Gallery that taps into the mysteries of faith and draws heavily on traditional religious imagery. Addington's athletic angels are embedded in densly layered pieces built up with fabric and other nmaterials, then aged, coated with beeswax and painted with tar, oils, and varnish. Also sharing the bill is French artist Philippe Pasqualini, whose petite, slender clay figures are a perfect counterpart to Addington's works, yet share the same air of mystery.  www.maltonartgallery.com
