Paris, France
"A Lush Spring" (Abstract Statuesque Lion, Rich Color Palette, Painting on Wood)
Playful optimism. “A Lush Spring” is created using a rich color palette of oil stick, acrylic paint, and ink, with plaster accents on wood. Showcasing statuesque hind legs of an unknown, regal animal, alluding to the opportunities of spring, with a repeat rose pattern in background.
Embracing the imperfections of reclaimed objects aged over time, Evans uses a piece of found wood as his surface. The wood was discovered with a perfect circle cut from the top center. From the back, you can see where Evans was able to incorporate the hole by filling it with plaster, which creates a nice texture on the front of the painting. Care should be taken when handling this area of the piece.
Signs of wear and aging of the wood, combined with the dimension added by the plaster elements, add to the texture and depth. Edges are smooth and wood sits flat. Unframed; option to add d-hooks and wire for hanging.
Evans Deventer signature stamp on back features painting name, location where work was done and year.

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 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.

The painting is composed of plaster, oil and acrylic, with the main detail shape, in white, positioned over wood glue, leaving a slightly raised effect. Embracing the unique imperfections of reclaimed objects aged over time, Evans uses antique found...
