Color Feels by Evan Venegas
Opening Saturday, August 25, 6-9PM
Showing through September 24, 2018
Color Feels showcases Evan Venegas' ongoing explorations in tone and dimension, including new works from his Lost Grid and Day Map series. Perceiving painting as a way to improvise and organize the emotional data in his mind, he assigns values to different tasks, events, and situations, then translates them into overlapping shapes of varying sizes. These individual shapes build a unified piece that represents the balance of elements in his life, much in the way a large event has a broad effect on day-to-day life while smaller moments also leave a profound impression.
New York-based artist Evan Venegas uses imagery loosely based on the surrounding urban, industrial landscape. His creative process is rooted in the recognizable world but expressed by abstract shapes and vibrant colors. He seeks to create an experience that inspires a change in perception for the viewer. Born and raised in Queens, New York, he began his art education at Parsons School of Design, then moved to San Francisco to complete a BFA in Painting at the San Francisco Art Institute. He returned to New York in 2000.
