Flesh Spot
1993
Lynda Benglis's *Flesh Spot* (1993) is a richly tactile work in which purified pigmented beeswax and dammar resin are applied to canvas, creating a luminous, skin-like surface that seems to glow from within. The organic warmth of the beeswax medium evokes the body and its materiality, aligning with Benglis's longstanding exploration of sensuality, process, and form. The painting's title reinforces this corporeal intimacy, suggesting a close, almost microscopic attention to flesh as both subject and substance.
