Looking... by Tim Engelhardt

In “Looking…”, Tim Engelhardt’s abstract portrait series captures the feelings and insecurities
that often leave us feeling alone and isolated. Lines and color meant to exaggerate facial planes
represent our attempts to compartmentalize our lives. But those compartments often bleed
into each other; the lines get blurred, the break might be jagged and harsh, unexpected. All this
frame eyes that evoke emotional responses and connections with the viewer. They tell stories
often alluded to in their titles. They avoid our eyes, looking for “someplace” better, some
“time” that is better. These paintings invite us to confront and share these feelings, pulling us
out of our shame and isolation. In the end, we are faced with the simple yet loaded question,
“What am I looking for?”

The opening reception takes place on Friday, September 16th 2022 at 6PM.
