Psychedelic, hot colors in a pyramid like form with the Sun as a center jewel surprise us at each viewing of Fields of the Sun 167 Icarus Survives. Balancing an extravagant interpretation of “landscape” with a composition that is exciting and simultaneously calm, we sense the balance comes from a restrained use of form, detail, and precision. This wild artwork vibrates with the energy of the artist’s California coast experience.

Engelund’s creative process juxtaposes material and the spirit, a new existential, a new way of seeing. Photographed on the coast of California, Fields of the Sun 167 Icarus Survives presents elements of the landscape that evoke the mysterious feeling of the mythic coastline.
