About the Item

“Balance” intimately captures two figures, one with dark skin and one with light, embracing underwater. Masterful use of light and color brings the scene to life, with refracted sunlight creating reflective patterns on bodies and water. Expressions and body language convey deep trust, affection and mutual support. Fluid forms and gentle water movement evoke tranquility and unity. Jester’s pool series explores gay life online and in apps – how individuals present themselves and treat one another. The pool represents an isolated yet connected environment, highlighting distorted views of others inside and out.

"Short Spurts" (Abstract, Vivid Pink, Feminine, Women, Painting, Antique Wood)
By Nicholas Evans
Located in Paris, IDF
SHORT SPURTS 2021 Paris, France This piece is a visual interpretation of a poem the artist wrote around frenzied, short-sighted behaviors: “That part usually stays hidden. Those colors are not known for blending. Us? We come from a rib. And we tangle ourselves in the traps we set for our prey.” - Nicholas Evans The painting is composed of plaster, oil and acrylic, with the main detail shape, in white, positioned over wood glue, leaving a slightly raised effect. Embracing the unique imperfections of reclaimed objects aged over time, Evans uses antique found...
