About the Item
ARIA OF OPERA ELEVEN
2025
Paris, France
This painting suggests a connection to performance, something both grand and fleeting. Made with black paint on stretched antique French linen, the piece resembles the heavy drapery of an opera stage — fabric caught mid-motion, frozen just before the reveal. The high contrast between black and linen emphasizes the rhythm of the folds, much like the rise and fall of an aria’s melody.
The use of antique French linen adds another layer of history, evoking a sense of something aged yet timeless. Like a forgotten opera or a curtain that has witnessed countless performances, the piece carries a quiet, almost theatrical presence. It leaves us wondering—does it represent a moment about to begin or one that has already passed.
Signature, year and place of the work are featured on back of canvas. Please inquire directly for questions or to explore alternative shipping options.
Nicholas Evans woks under the moniker of Evans Deventer to present his art. Through Evans Deventer, he is continuously intrigued by the ‘decayed decadence’ of long-held traditions and the looming past, and how to represent them visually.

Nicholas Evans
Nicholas Evans is an American, Paris-based artist, designer and creative director. Painting is a cornerstone of Evans’s artistic expression, which is largely inspired by personal events, religious symbolism, and historical allegories.
In addition to traditional oil and acrylics, Evans uses materials such as plasters, wax, salt and found objects in his works, presenting a way to seek new meaning in elements that have collapsed or eroded over time. Threads of poetry convey the fragmented logic of suffering, lost love and redemption that push him to create.
After early success in New York’s fashion and creative industry — followed by nearly losing his life to addiction — a liver transplant gave way to a new perspective and allowed Evans to reinvent himself. Inspired to revisit the rudiments of expression through his first love of painting, Nicholas began working under the moniker of Evans Deventer to present his art.
Through Evans Deventer, he is continuously intrigued by the “decayed decadence” of long-held traditions and the looming past, and how to represent them visually. Evans Deventer is also represented as a brick and mortar space, which he designed in 2015, featuring furniture, jewelry and objects, in addition to artwork.

A graphic and bold abstract painting on linen, with dark blue green ink and white acrylic accents. A single, bold, orange line is situated on the left side of the painting, a commentary on markers of time as an ineffective unit of measurement. Time interpreted not as linear, but an experience outside of numbers and outside of logic.
