*Artwork will be shipped directly from the artist's studio in California.
Bloomline is a part of the “Bloom” series that combines the head with floral elements and is symbolic of growth, renewal, and transformation.
"Bloomline is a play on the blood line. A bloodline implies a lineage of people that came before you, who are a part of your history and forms a connection between the past and present. I was thinking that bloomline (made up word) includes not only your bloodline but all the individual fragments of experiences that form the person you are now, and is a continual process of growth and transformation."
Mark Engel is a figurative painter whose practice investigates the body as a site of transformation, perception, and psychological depth. Drawing on themes of connection, involution, and the fluid nature of selfhood, Engel constructs layered compositions that merge the figure with elements of landscape, gesture, and abstraction. His paintings explore the tension between form and dissolution, using fragmentation and distortion to reflect transitional states and the porous boundaries between interior and exterior experience.
He has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions, including Shapeshifters at Know Future Gallery, Constellations at Vargas Gallery, and group shows at Baton Rouge Gallery Center for Contemporary Art, Limner Gallery in New York, and 33 Contemporary Gallery in Chicago. His work has been featured in Create! Magazine, Artsin Square, and Curatory Magazine. Engel is a professor at Mission College in Santa Clara, California, and has contributed to arts education through teaching residencies and faculty exhibitions.
