Carl Engmann’s work is defined by his unwavering focus on the interiors of trains, a subject he approaches with near-obsessive dedication. Through his paintings, he transforms these transient, functional spaces into vibrant studies of colour and movement. Engmann’s compositions capture the dynamic interplay of shifting forms and tones, offering a deep exploration of how light, structure, and colour interact in these confined environments.
Deeply inspired by Stanley Whitney’s freedom with colour, Engmann infuses the ordinary with a remarkable sense of vitality, layering tones to create tension and harmony within each piece. His focus on trains is not just about the spaces themselves but about how they become containers for energy, rhythm, and quiet moments of stillness. This singular focus drives a unique perspective, where the everyday is transformed into a world of dynamic abstraction and intimate observation.
