Art Access II Gallery is pleased to present Soon We'll Destroy You, For Now We'll Toast You, featuring the egg tempera on panel and encaustic work of Salt Lake artist Zane Lancaster. The artist's reception will be taking place on Friday, July 17 from 6:00pm-9:00pm, during Salt Lake City's July Gallery Stroll. Lancaster says that these particular paintings were created during a year of presidential election and greed induced economic decline. The images were executed using encaustic wax and egg tempera, two relatively archaic and tedious mediums once used for death portraits and religious iconography, now depicting icons of success, wealth, and political power. Lancaster explains, 'The imagery in this work references the photo-op moment when men meet to determine the lives of millions, to negotiate deals, to begin and end wars. They are awkward moments of niceties and formality, posed handshakes, a kiss on the hand, a feigned smile. The teeth and the ties are emphasized as symbols of well dressed aggression: you have to be trusted so you can take the biggest bite.' The artist has a BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of art and Design in 2003 and an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Utah in 2008.
