Nicholas Evans (b. 1982) is an American, Paris-based artist, designer and creative director. Painting is a cornerstone of Evans’ 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 new perspective and allowed Evans to reframe 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.
The artist leaves their mark of authenticity with a signature Evans Deventer...
