Forms 2023
Engelmann’s ongoing work demonstrates a consistent thematic trajectory, while a discernible shift towards a more streamlined and refined sculptural approach is observed on the level of form. Subsequently, the artist subjects the resulting perfect spheres/forms to a variety of “destructive” forces with the objective of nullifying and deforming their perceived perfection. By embracing the processes of deformation and (de)formation, the artist demonstrates an acceptance of imperfection, anomaly, and deformation as a form of idealisation. In an effort to challenge the prevailing liberal and capitalist definitions of success, the artist proposes deformation and failure as a form of resistance against the repressive social structures that shape our lives.
