Charlie Engman

Charlie Engman's work explores and distorts the human form.
His collage work uses limbs to create unrecognizable versions of a human form, conjoining different body parts.



His models bend and contort together in his photographs, making it difficult to see when one person ends and another begins. He never leaves their faces visible either making it seem even more like there is just one form rather than two as each body becomes indistinguishable.


I love his drawing, the quality of line and detail suggested is beautiful. It is similar to Jenny Saville's work in that it shows the body in motion, creating joined forms. His work also shows the interaction between people and their body language, and how bodies interact with each other in different positions and situations.
