About the Item
ASCENSIONS
2021
Paris, France
A release of tension through surrender. An abstract, contemporary, calm, cerebral and graphic painting.
Five orange-red lines - four thin and one thick - dissect from above. Rich black-purple ink bleeds into a diluted white fog. Some residue of hidden drawings are visible, but intentionally not legible.
The canvas used for this piece was found on the streets of Paris. It was repurposed by first painting the original side black, then flipping and re-stretching the canvas. Staples are exposed on the outside edge of the canvas. On the back, Artist’s signature along with MMXXI indicates year work was done (2021). Evans Deventer signature stamp is positioned on the back of the stretcher.
Canvas is unframed, with the option to add d-hooks and wire on back for hanging upon request. If shipping to the US, option to add a handmade, solid oak 1/2” gallery style frame (1/4” floating between the frame and painting), to nicely finish the piece.
We are happy to offer subsidized shipping options. Please inquire for more details.

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.

"Lus Osculi" (Abstract Black & White, Graphic Painting, Roman-inspired, Neutral)
By Nicholas Evans
Located in Paris, IDF
Drawing inspiration from the ancient Roman term "Los Osculi," translating to "right to kiss," the artist delves into a compelling exploration of the past's intriguing customs. In ancient Rome, women were prohibited from drinking as it was believed to lead to adultery and even possess abortifacient properties. Consequently, the husband and male family members of an "honest" woman possessed the right to kiss her on the mouth to ensure her sobriety. The allure of fleeting kisses, whispers of scent, and the sensuality of suspicion captivated the artist's imagination.
