Maggie Evans

A musician from a musical family, Savannah, Georgia-based Maggie Evans portrays the unsettled emptiness of quiet bars in charcoal and pastel works on paper. Simultaneously evocative and expressive, her smoky, gridded interiors recall the musky static of loud and busy bars, and the thick rhythmic pulse of live music. A mist of grey and ochre-tinged fumes haunts each work, creating dreamy impressions of a bustling scene half-remembered, long gone in Evans's deserted barroom scenery of throbbing lines and murky lighting.
