  • The Grand Piranesi
    By Thomas Engelhart
    Located in New York, NY
    Acrylic and shellac based inks on Ingres paper; Wooden frame. Available for customization. From architectural follies of the eighteenth-century to crystalline rock formations, Thomas Engelhart translates the angles and polished surfaces of ancient artifacts into hand-painted paper objects. A Charleston, South Carolina native, Engelhart began his career in fashion, studying at Studio Berçot in Paris in the 1990s.
