Opalescence of crushed pearls, warmth of peach orange resonates from coral, translucence of beeswax, turquoise floating in a sea of blues, pale golds, shimmering silvers, these are the materials of Maggie Simonelli's paintings that speak to the heart through the senses.

Maggie Simonelli explores themes of nature, feminine beauty, and love primarily through material and process. Her signature encaustic “burn-in” technique begins with a mixture of beeswax and pigments which are “slow-cooked” in a double boiler. For this series, her materials include pearl dust, crushed oyster shells, coral, and a range of blue pigments – many from women’s cosmetics – as well as 22 kt gold, copper, and silver metal leaf. As Simonelli ads layer upon layer of satin translucent wax-based “paint”, she carves arabesque shapes and lines into the gold and metal leaf. A quote from Rumi inspired the series title:

“Love isn’t the work of the tender and the gentle;
Love is the work of wrestlers.
The one who becomes a servant of lovers
is really a fortunate sovereign.
Don’t ask anyone about Love; ask Love about Love.
Love is a cloud that scatters pearls.” ~ Rumi

Maggie Simonelli received a BA from Connecticut College and an MFA in Painting and an MS in Art History from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. She has had solo exhibitions at Sara Nightingale Gallery, Sag Harbor, NY and Gary Marotta Fine Art, Provincetown, MA. Other gallery exhibits include Van Brunt Gallery, NY, Kristen Frederickson Contemporary Art, NY, Margaret Porter Troupe Gallery, San Diego, CA and the University of South Carolina, Beaufort. Simonelli’s artwork has been commissioned for private homes and corporate lobbies including Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, David Rockwell in NYC and the Inter-Continental Hotel in Boston. Simonelli has lectured on her art for the NY Society of Cosmetic Chemists, COLOR 2020 and #BeyondTheBrief 2019 at Peclers, Paris. NYC Headquarters.

#Manhattanbased #artist @maggiesimonelli #MaggieSimonelli’s #encausticpaintings have been a mainstay @GaryMarottaFineArt #provincetown since 2011’ her current exhibition, “Cosmic Fire,” remains on view thru Oct. 31. Her current works combine #minerals, #pigments, #metalleaf and even #makeup to symbolize transformation through destruction and regeneration. “Choosing the materials to represent this subject, I had to direct myself towards western art history,” Simonelli said. “I imagined the heart of the flame, choosing 24 kt. gold and cinnabar, cochineal and the most beautiful reds became the ‘elements’ that could describe fire as both material and intellect. The physical beauty of the heart of the fire represented by the red crackling in the flame by the #gold.” (Seen here: Fire, Red #6, 2020 #encaustic, 24 kt. gold leaf, 16 kt. pale gold leaf, oxidizing copper & aluminum leaf, lipstick, cochineal, cinnabar & pigments on wood, 20” x 20”) #provincetownma #ptown #capecod #artistsoninstagram
