Admission: Free
The encaustic work of Dale O. Roberts is on exhibition at the Robert Roman Gallery from January 8 through February 2 in Encaustic Reflections.
Additional Info: Robert’s realistic work is distinguished by his understanding and use of light, powerful composition, and his ability to conquer a very difficult medium: painting with wax and pigment.
The process used by Roberts is classic encaustic, a procedure dating from Roman times. The work is done on a glue prepared gesso panel, using paints consisting of beeswax, dammar crystals, and dry pigments. Paint is applied hot, and manipulated in any variety of methods. The final image is subjected to a heat treatment of the entire surface, known as “burning-in.” This final process, essential to the true ancient method, causes the layers to fuse into a stable, inert paint film.
Roberts’ has for many years depicted landscapes and in this exhibition he appears to continue the landscape subject matter with what seem to be tranquil countryside scenes upon first glance. However, his traditional misty dusty green encaustic landscapes have become sharper as he applies his landscape vision to adjacent industrial sites. In this study of contrasts, Roberts has introduced a sharp difference between the beautifully rendered trees, gentle hillocks and fields, juxtapositioned against a frame of concrete and metal slabs of man-made buildings and bridges. In his renderings, he makes a poignant statement about mans’ struggle to maintain the beauty and serenity of the countryside, while contributing to the economy with structures that often defile and disrupt nature.
Dale O. Roberts received his AAS from Rochester Institute and graduated Cum Laude with a BFA in Painting and Drawing from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia. He currently resides and works in his studio in Norristown, Pennslyvania.

Admission: N/A
The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa’s signature restaurant, deseo, has transformed into an art gallery, showcasing the work of Cuban artist and resort associate, Nelson Garcia-Miranda.
Additional Info: Garcia, who works as a steward for the property, came to Phoenix in 1999 after seeking political exile from Cuba. Displacement has made him more aware of his cultural heritage which he depicts in his work in a style called, “cubanidad.”
Rich in color and complex in theme, Garcia-Miranda’s paintings embody the tales of the Cuban countryside, brining to visual representation fables and stories of cagüeiros (sorcerers who become animals), and güijes (Cuban goblins). His work is saturated with the exuberance of the tropics as his vibrant use of color may be read as visual representations of poly-rhythmic Cuban music, also conveying the forceful light of the Caribbean meridian.
