Tim Engelhardt

Signature, Please, Abstract Painting

2024

Artist Comments
Drips and pours of various colors spread across a background of stained, watered-down blues. In this painting, artist Tim Engelhardt pays tribute to three of his favorite artists—Helen Frankenthaler, Cy Twombly, and Jackson Pollock. It also explores the idea of “signature,” beyond just a written name, as a personal mark or expression. Through layered textures and bold gestures, the artist invites viewers to step closer and look deeper.

About the Artist
Artist Tim Engelhardt creates abstract compositions that explore the complexities of the human psyche. He uses color and structure to explore his feelings while grounding each piece in the reality of who he is in the moment of creation. “Much of my work starts from a yearning to understand existence and relationship,” says Tim. Though he has never had formal mentorship, Tim has built his path through persistence, the support of his wife, and a strong artistic community. Based in Pittsburgh, Tim paints at a 260-square-foot studio in a converted Westinghouse factory. When he’s not making art or working full-time at a bank, Tim enjoys spending time with his family, tending his yard, and watching musical theater.
