For John Evans’s The Shape of Stillness, opening Thursday, October 15, I would make botanical gardens a central part of the announcement.
Evans approaches botanical gardens as places where nature and abstraction meet. Lily pads become discs of color, waterways dissolve into broad planes, and leafy plants are reduced to cartoon like marks. These forms echo the moons and suns that appear throughout the exhibition, connecting the intimate world of a garden with the vastness of the sky.
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 15, 6–8 PM
