Bodies overlap and interpenetrate, built from planes of pink, yellow, crimson and green that shift from one to the next without anatomical logic, so a leg carries the color of the field behind it and a back takes on the blue of the sky. Behind the group, a dark treeline, a mirrored lake, and a band of green meadow are laid in as flat horizontal registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figures are walking, and Engel uses that motion to justify the fragmentation. A body in transit is never fully seen, and the painting builds each one from the partial views that movement allows. Limbs multiply where a stride has been recorded more than once, and the group reads as a single organism with too many legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScattered dark spots fall across the whole surface like rain on a lens, sitting on top of both figure and landscape and flattening the distinction between them. They are the clearest sign that this is a constructed image rather than a scene observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title names the moment Engel returns to throughout his work: the point at which a body passes from one state, one place, or one identity into another, and is briefly legible as both.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Engel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54258468028780,"sku":null,"price":12500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/9023\/6012\/files\/0H9A9807.jpg?v=1790280587","url":"https:\/\/www.mashgallery.com\/products\/crossing-point","provider":"MASH Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
