About the Item
WOMBS, TOMBS AND TOOLS
2020
Paris, France
Hand-painted, serif typeset words loosely convey the similarities between the place we begin and end life -- the womb and the tomb --- and the instruments and devices in between. All paint is acrylic with the exception of the red elements, which are formed with oil paint.
The painting is a collaboration with time, and is executed on a piece of wood found on the streets of Paris, expressing some signs of wear and aging, with very slight warping, which is part of the aesthetic. Unframed; includes d-hooks on back for hanging. Evans Deventer signature stamp features painting name, location of where work was done and year.

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.

SHORT SPURTS
2021
Paris, France
This piece is a visual interpretation of a poem the artist wrote around frenzied, short-sighted behaviors:
“That part usually stays hidden. Those colors are not known for blending. Us? We come from a rib. And we tangle ourselves in the traps we set for our prey.” - Nicholas Evans
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...
