About the Item
EPERGNE
2024, Paris, France
This painting conveys the sense of knowing something is under the surface, in the dark, while not fully understanding it - as if looking into a cave. An abstract and surreal piece which is primarily black & white with accents of pinks, browns and natural tones, offering a sophisticated and neutral color palette.
Matte black paint, mixed with plaster, has been sanded down by the artist. His process reveals a very faint, white, blurred shape which is situated at the base of the painting, in the darkness, with intentionally obstructed typography overlayed.
Artist's signature is on the back of the piece, over an Evans Deventer stamp bearing the painting's name, the location of where work was done and year, 2024.

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.

"Rosettes II" (abstract, animal, bold, deep green-blue indigo, neutral, diptych)
By Nicholas Evans
Located in Paris, IDF
"Rosettes II" is a graphic and bold abstract painting, of deep green-blue indigo ink painted on canvas. The name pays homage to the captivating "rosettes," the distinctive and natural markings found on animal fur, a fusion of danger and beauty. This artwork mimics the animalistic allure, exuding a sense of untamed elegance.
Both ancient and modern in style, the canvas embraces a captivating sense of movement, evoking both energy and fluidity. "Rosettes I" stands as a powerful statement piece, where graphic elements converge with the essence of the wild.
For a harmonious ensemble, consider pairing with its counterpart, "Rosettes I" (as pictured). Each artwork is sold separately.

He was a painter, lithographer and musician-composer He belongs to the École de Paris and was a member in the movement of the Young Painting.

Lersy received the Prix des Amateurs d’Art in 1953, the Shell Prize in 1954 and the Grand Prize of the City of Marseilles in 1953. Lersy could be defined as a Baroque expressionist.
