About the Item
MAGDALENA
2024, Paris, France
An abstract and surreal original painting which is primarily black & white with accents of deep reds, browns, light blues, greens, and natural tones, offering a sophisticated and neutral color palette.
Very dark and mysterious overall using primarily black matte and satin finish paint, with blurred, distorted, white, vertical, symmetrical shapes. At the top of the piece is the name "MAGDALENA.", in hand-painted, centered type. The number "104" is positioned in smaller type underneath. Intentionally obstructed deep red shapes and accents are incorporated at the bottom of the work. Beautiful texture, depth and surreal movement are at the center of this 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. Exposed nail heads on side. Two parallel horizontally oriented perforations in the canvas on the lower right corner are patched from the back, as pictured.

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.
