Light is a key element of Winnepeg's abstract encaustic painter Keith Wood’s work. Taking advantage of the attributes of the medium he works in transparent layers.

Unlike oil or acrylic, the added pigment is suspended in the molten wax as opposed to being emulsified. The refraction of light through the layers of wax creates the appearance of light coming from within the work.

Keith Wood works in the abstract genre, broad natural forms with evidence of the process and stages of development the work has emerged from. He rarely does preliminary sketches or drawings. Every painting has an intent which one must sense, then act on. Just as a jazz musician dialogues with his instrument, creating a work of art involves an intense dialogue with the work throughout the process.
