These new works are good. He's graduating from the Yale MFA Painting program this year and has been getting alot of attention from collectors in NY. He's having a show at Evergold in SF later this year too.

Wonderful show by Evan Nesbit at Roberts & Tilton in Los Angeles. These are works that need to be seen in person because of the dimensionality of the paint so if you are in the area it's worth seeing. I've copied some of the art-speak press release below to give an idea of his process.   "Through the manipulation of acrylic paint and fibers, Nesbit creates textured surfaces that challenge traditional substrates of painting. The warp and weft of burlap, linen and wool textiles furrowed into textured paint surfaces capture a kind of performative gesture in the making of each piece. This process spurs a similarity to that of monotype printmaking. The unique folds, weight, and textures rendered in low relief converge the concerns of rendering space and depth through illusionistic visual cues. The fibers produce a sense of a posterior view of the painting, as if it were constructed backwards; dignifying basal gestures.In the exhibition, each painting presents a discreet allure activated by the visual fusion of reductive pattern and color bound by shape and line in harmonic discord. The optical affect of paint and its variations of surface, and lighting composition stir a retinal residue residing in phenomenological periphery. This practice of alternative gestures, color, and material relationships challenge the pictorial space of painting and habitual modes of perception."  |

Where do people learn to write like this? The paintings/works look nice and the technique is interesting, but the write up is pure BS.

A very under-appreciated painter in my opinion. He has evolved slightly bit in composition. However, I really do appreciate his use of colors and his organic approach to his paintings. An older thread for Evan while he was at Yale: Older thread |

Went to the show and agree these paintings are very beautiful and dramatic in person.
