About the Item
SAUDADE
2024, Paris, France
An abstract, original painting on linen, which is primarily black & white with hand-painted typography detail. Centered at the bottom of the work reads the text "XVII. Saudade". The word "Saudade" signifies a melancholic or nostalgic emotion in which one longs for an absent someone or something. The artist captures this sense of yearning through abstract shapes. The bold, black serif text composing "Saudade" consumes the entire width of the canvas.
A rich, dark mauve base, and white textured paint overlay surrounds the type, creating enigmatic depth and surreal movement in the piece.
Artist's signature is on the back, 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.

View All"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.
