Green Porphyry Obelisk
Located in New York, NY
Signed and dated by artist on underside; Acrylic and shellac based inks on Ingres paper.
From architectural follies of the eighteenth-century to crystalline rock formations, Thomas Engelhart translates the angles and polished surfaces of ancient artifacts into hand-painted paper objects. A Charleston, South Carolina native, Engelhart began his career in fashion, studying at Studio Berçot in Paris in the 1990s.

By absorbing the French approach to fait à la main, Engelhart flourished upon his return to New York in 2017.
