About the Item

Martin Engler (b. 1953) was born in Grabs (SG), Switzerland. He now lives in Geneva. After studying art in Zurich he developed diverse techniques: mixed media, oil painting, collage, bronze casting and sculpture. He executes “corporate portraits» for private individuals and companies - communication through art is born. His works are snapshots of an emotional journey linking daily life to art.

In 2008, during a stay in Havana, Cuba, Martin Engler discovered the ancient techniques of collagraphy and monotypography. His participation at the 10th Havana Biennial is the subject of the documentary “Cuba, la caja fuerte abandonada” (Cuba, the abandoned safe), which was aired on Swiss Television and on channel TV5 in 2014-15. Martin Engler’s work has been exhibited throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia. It is part of prestigious collections and has been auctioned by Christie’s.

  • Metallic Precision Cut Currencies Butterflies Flocking Target Illusions Ablaze
    By Charles Patrick
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    This work is sourced directly from the artist. Butterflies cut from International Currency and gold foil, arranged in the shape of a target, and pinned with stainless steel entomology pins to canvas. Framed in a white, wooden frame. About Charles Patrick Charles Patrick is best known for his intricately cut paper butterflies, suspended like museum specimens on individual entomology pins and clustered together to form icons, logos, and symbols against the backdrop of pristine canvases. Living in a world between the paper and digital ages, these works conjure feelings of nostalgia for the tactility of paper, created from vintage comic books, children’s books, currency, maps, and other obsolete ephemera. This stands in jarring contrast to the clean, pixelated designs that the butterflies form which exchange individual emotion for the universal immediacy of today’s contemporary visual language. Targets, hearts, ohms, and stars pop from the canvas in three-dimension - a fresh departure from the flat screens that are the norm today. With a background in vintage poster restoration, illustration, and printmaking, Charles Patrick combines his love of paper, art history, and design to create works that are both strikingly beautiful and poignantly thought-provoking. Charles lives and works between Cos Cob...
