BE THERE
Julie Evans 2007Presented by Julie Saul Gallery March 29, 2007- May 5, 2007Reception: March 29, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pmJulie Evans
Evans works slowly and painstakingly, rendering delicate garlands and intricate mandalas, and filling large expanses of color with tiny, countless, vertical strokes. She creates ambiguous spaces within spaces that are at once both micro and macro in realm, keeping the viewer up close to these intimate works, but with a sense of their broader reach into place and time. She has worked in India and Nepal, including travel and research supported by a Fulbright Scholarship studying with a master of Indian miniature painting. Critic Mario Naves wrote of Evans' work that she “creates vistas infinitely more expansive than the physical parameters of the paintings support. Clearly the conventions of Indian miniature paintings have become second nature to her." Evans has been exhibiting her work extensively in both the US and abroad since completing her MFA at Brooklyn College in 1992. Her work is included in many private and public collections including the Rubin Museum of Art, JP Morgan Chase, the Progressive Corporation, US Trust Corporation, and the Federal Reserve Bank. A catalog with 10 plates and an essay by critic Michael Duncan is available.
