Paul Engeris
Hey, my name is Paul Engeris and this is my portfolio. Paul Engeris have been drawing ever since he could hold a pen. Those who have known him across the decades remember a child, a boy, a teenager, a man, who would eat - and draw, speak - and draw. hold business meetings - and draw. The result is a compelling, provocative body of work, produced entirely in ink, which entices the viewer into scenes that perhaps Breugel would appreciate, or Dante, or curiously, Escher. There are images here of old crones and nubile women, of howling, horned devils and haloed angels. There is graphic porn, too, in the engorged genitalia of men, women and beats, floating past caricatures of the heads of state and the church. Paul Engeris himself describes his work as the 'rampant scribbles of a subversive subconscious' which is, of course, his subversive subconscious speaking. In fact, the work here is complex and challenging, the creation of a surreal, bizarre lucid imagination that captures, in the swirling strokes of a pen, the visceral emotions that define us; we are, after all, at one time or another horned devils or haloed angels, beasts who are absurdly driven by our genitals, or evolved beings who aspire to more. And frequently, so frequently, we are they head-down, cowed figures that appear again and again and again. Though naked, our averted eyes, conceal everything and give nothing away.
