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.

- What Endures (Colorful Abstract Mixed Media Painting in Blue, Multi-Color)Located in Hudson, NYBrightly colored abstract mixed media painting with a gradient grey-blue background and multi-color detail "What Endures" by Hudson Valley based artist, Gina Occhiogrosso, made in 2020 acrylic and oil on piece and sewn muslin 48 x 36 inches Signed Verso Gina Occhiogrosso expands the boundaries of painting as she explores a preoccupation with the materiality of painting itself. Wet acrylic is applied to a stretched muslin surface where biomorphic shapes are formed using a combination of neon and pastel palettes. What follows is a process of disassembly and realignment when the artist cuts and sutures the painted surfaces back together. The act of cutting leads to new forms, dynamic connections, and illusions of depth. Slightly raised stitched seams act as a geometric disrupter to create both linear and sculptural elements, suggesting ties that are fragile yet unified. Her process and choice of materials are a nod to the female tradition of needlework (both of her immigrant grandmothers were seamstresses) and to commonplace materials like cotton muslin, yarn and thread used to craft something truly fine. Extremely tactile in nature, the artist has perfected a technique to make paintings that are full of suggestive qualities abstraction can create, and that allows her to “explore anxiety, loss, humor and heroic femininity.” Gina Occhiogrosso’s national group exhibition experience includes group exhibitions at The Painting Center and The Tang Teaching Museum. She served on the arts faculty at the College of Saint Rose and was the previous gallery director for the Arts Center of the Capital Region. Artist Statement: In my work, the hallowed and often masculinized tradition of painting is subverted through the cutting and sewing together of painted surfaces. The act of cutting leads to new forms, dynamic connections and illusions of depth, and the seams disrupt colorful forms that are carefully rendered and then sutured together. Intention and chance fuel this process of alignment and repositioning. Spaces and forms interact ambiguously, seemingly in flux and in conversation. I compose through the application of wet color on a surface and through the process of disassembly and realignment. Throughout the paintings, slightly raised seams are made where freshly painted edges join, creating both linear and sculptural elements. The seams suggest ties that are tenuous yet sturdy, fragile yet unified. Bright colors, shifting shapes and the visibility of seams connect to notions of pattern, fashion, crafts, and the history of “women’s work.” The toughness and thinness of the fabric is a reminder of the tension inherent in that history.
