Kimberly Engel | Art Queens Society

Kimberly Engel is a contemporary abstract painter who lives and works in Clearwater, Florida. Her distinct gestural style combines a love for color interaction with spontaneous mark making. Engel’s paintings explore levels of transparency, evoking depth and light. She is inspired by the constant presence and changing states of water near the Gulf Coast.

Engel describes her process as an exploration of herself and ultimately the dissolving of herself, mirrored in the process of making and deconstructing works. Her gestural marks have been described as both compulsive and somewhat calligraphic. They undulate and disappear under thin veils of color. Her current paintings have emerged by tuning into a deep space of tenderness. The act of gestural mark making and the use of transparent veils of vibrant color have served as a subtle alchemy to process profound grief.

Engel received a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art. She has exhibited in Cleveland, Chicago, Raleigh, Camarillo, Portland, and several galleries throughout Florida. Her works are in Capright Corporation’s permanent collection, Chicago, and The Breakers Hotel, Palm Beach.
