About the Item
ELÉA OSSIFIED
2022
An abstracted portrait with detail of lying roses mimics thoughts caught in time, while capturing the complex notion of aging and beauty. A soft and calming painting captured with acrylic and oil stick on wood.
Intentionally embracing the unique imperfections of reclaimed objects aged over time, Evans uses an imperfect piece of found wood as his surface. Nail holes from the original wood sit along the edge of the piece, visible and incorporated in the painting. Additionally, a small notch is missing on upper and lower left (as pictured), adding to the painting's aesthetic. Framing would nicely finish the piece and also be recommended due to subtle warping in the wood.
The back has a lip around which can be used for hanging (also pictured). Artist’s signature is on the front as well as back, along with Evans Deventer stamp featuring the name and year of painting. Painting is unframed.

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.

"Set Us In Stone I" (abstract, blue, Parisian, graphic, bust on natural canvas)
By Nicholas Evans
Located in Paris, IDF
SET US IN STONE I
2022
Paris, France
Originally created as part of Nicholas' solo exhibition "This, and Thereafter (Plumes)," December 10, 2022 - January 7, 2023. The theme illustrated the enigmatic uncertainty around what might happen after life. A range of paintings were presented – vibrant and ethereal – touching on different aspects of this notion. Each painting had a different point of view, oftentimes focusing around the inevitability of what is to come, and if and how it influences the present.
This particular piece centers around personal legacy, how you will be remembered, and how your life vanishes into an abstraction as time goes by. This notion is visualized with a bust set in stone. The technique Evans used was a mixing of water-based ink with a hint of blue, that he knew would react when overlaid with white acrylic, pulling out a lighter hue of the blue ink. The white silhouette of a portrait set in stone creates a ghostly continuation of the underlaid pattern.
