About the Item

This work on canvas is a mixed media abstract work featuring hues of yellow and orange. Evan is inspired by the works of Frank Bowling, Helen Frankenthaler, Candida Alvarez and Dorothy Hood. In her latest body of work “Perennial Trace,” Atlanta-based artist Evan Blackwell Helgeson explores the multifaceted nature of recollection, reimagination, and remaking as functions of growth through layered abstract paintings. “The line ‘My soul has grown deep like the rivers,’ from Langston Hughes poem, “The Negro Speaks of Rivers,” has underpinned the making of this body of work,” says Evan. “A river–in all of its rising, falling, rushing, and meandering– marks time by the depths of its riverbed and the tumbling and softening of its ancient sediment; all the while reflecting the ever changing world around it, and being made new through the collection of falling rain, melting snow, and the persistent carving of new bends. It is both a steady presence and an ever changing force: carrying fresh rainfall over ancient banks; making small shifts over time to create new bodies.” The paintings in this show evoke a sense of constant transformation mimicking light falling across water, rocks on a river bed, garden blooms, or the canopy of a forest composed of forms that are similar but never exactly the same. Many of the works were created utilizing canvases that had been left in various states of completion over the years. Past iterations became the conceptual foundation and physical substrate for the new; further embodying the practice of recollection and reimagination as facets of growth and modes of evolution. Based in Atlanta, GA, Evan received her MFA from the School of The Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in Boston, MA; and her BFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia in Athens, GA. Her work, including custom, site-specific murals, can be found in corporate, government, and various private collections both local and abroad; as well as installed in a number of commercial spaces ranging from small businesses to corporate, commercial and hospitality.

"Petalled Recollection" - colorful abstract painting - nature - botanical
By Evan Blackwell-Helgeson
Located in Atlanta, GA
This work on canvas is a mixed media abstract work featuring hues of blue, orange, and green. Framed in a natural wood floater frame measuring 20 by 16 inches. Evan is inspired by the works of Frank Bowling, Helen Frankenthaler, Candida Alvarez and Dorothy Hood. Atlanta-based artist, Evan Blackwell Helgeson’s recent body of work “I Know The Place,” is rooted in the exploration & abstraction of nature, combining the representational with the metaphorical & intangible experience of varied landscapes. Her mark-making aims to express the complex compounded layering of experience as we process varying circumstances, emotions & memories while in nature. “I Know The Place” explores the dichotomy & simultaneity of the cycles of nature & lived experience: as new things bloom, something is decaying; as new terrain is explored, a yearning for home grows. Travel in recent years to the Pacific Northwest & Hawaii have deeply influenced Evan’s work, & have come to intertwine with the layered marks & known gestures that express her own home. It has provided a unique contrast to these known environments & subsequent mark making, drawing unique parallels to the way we compile experiences that create our complex perspectives; interweaving memory & possibility to create new paths forward. "Traveling from the dense layers of the treeline where horizons are hidden, a desire to find a path out begins to grow," says Evan. "Similarly, the wide expanse & monolithic scale of the coastline displays the fullness of the horizon & the dizzying implication of new possibilities & the unknown. One does not negate the other, but rather they inform each other, recalling the cycle of being drawn out into new terrain, & receding deep into the comfort of home. An ebb & flow that creates dynamic balance." Evan Blackwell Helgeson is an Atlanta-based artist who works in painting, drawing, installation & ceramics. She received a BFA from the University of Georgia’s Lamar Dodd...
