Evan King

Beyond Borders: Exhibition of Fine Art from Canada
October 1 - October 21, 2008 Reception: Thursday October 2, 2008 6-8 PM

Press Release

In the milieu of high-tech mass production, advertising no longer has much to do with artistic aspirations.  But Evan King is not delimited by the trends of his time.  His art brings to mind fantasies of Toulouse-Lautrec transplanted from metropolitan Paris to the Canadian wilderness.  Despite being well under 40, King's work in acrylics (usually on wood) evoke an earlier, simpler era.  His imagery does not so much represent as it does supply the viewer with a feeling, a sense of what it is to be in the presence of the subject or immersed in the environment depicted.  Fields of chalky color abut at black outlines, building coherent wholes from clearly delineated fractions—a feat that a less-sure hand might easily fail to achieve.

Evan King's experience traveling throughout his native Canada and its variety of landscape has helped him develop an eye for the nature of each particular place that enables him to create works that are completely transporting in spite of their total disinterest in anything approaching photorealism.
