About this artwork
Christopher Engel's "Faces and Figures" depict eternal figures surrounded by symbols, text, and collaged images. With a bold use of color and brushstrokes, they take the shape of angels, prophets, monks, nuns, rabbis, shamans, teachers, spirits, and ancestors. These works are “portraits” of those who, “summoned or not,” as Carl G. Jung has stated, “are present.” Engel explains, “these figures appear in every culture in different forms, with the same…
message. We are only passing through this life momentarily, yet we are each part of something that never ends. We are not alone. We are part of the universe.”
