Artwork Description

Created using the ancient encaustic technique, this painting layers molten wax and pigment on a rigid surface to achieve a luminous, translucent depth. Each stratum is fused with heat, building a surface rich in texture — slathered brushstrokes, subtle drips, and organic movement that echo the rhythm of the sea.

The composition hovers between representation and abstraction, evoking the shifting moods of water. From aerial perspectives that reveal the sea’s intricate patterns to close-up glimpses of waves crashing against the shore, the work explores the tension between fluidity and structure.

Vibrant hues of turquoise, indigo, viridian, and emerald green mingle with the white surge of foam, creating a dynamic interplay of light and motion. The result is a tactile, immersive seascape — a meditation on the ocean’s power, beauty, and constant transformation.

Artist Bio

Cherie Lidbury is a Newcastle‑based artist known for her expressive figurative works and atmospheric encaustic paintings. Trained in classical drawing and influenced by Renaissance masters, she blends traditional technique with contemporary intuition. Her poured grounds, layered mark‑making, and luminous palettes explore the quiet emotional spaces within the human form and the shifting moods of the sea.
Her work is collected for its depth, softness, and sense of intimate presence.
