Existential metamodern poetic colorful playful, Engelund’s new paintings go further into the visceral encounters with paint and text as his landscapes now abstract into consciousness via a playful cosmos. Asphalt Abstracted Ad Astra.

Engelund seamlessly juxtaposes contradictory notions of painting, from zen-like hand-less aretê to childlike technê, while embracing the range of simple pleasures of, to the ab-ex impact of color. Text in Engelund’s new works becomes more prominent than his previous work ranging from poetic playfulness to addressing philosophical problems. Soulful, channeling the progressive California spirit Engelund’s new paintings are an investigation into universal if personal metamodern concerns.
