show moreLed by impulse, instinct, chance, and frustration. Evelyn scrapes back the paint and reiterates her gestures once again - a constant cycle of renewal over several months. The drips, streaks, smudges, layers, and heavy textures that dominate Evelyn’s canvases as non-representational forms have the capacity to appear as recognizable suggestions of figuration and landscape. Yet, her works refuse to hold fixed meanings.
I’m meeting Pam Evelyn at Pace Gallery, in London. Who are currently exhibiting A Handful of Dust, its debut exhibition of the artist’s work. A Handful of Dust exhibits a set of paintings made by Evelyn over several months between London and Cornwall. We are speaking about her process of painting over multiple months, constantly applying, layering, and scraping paint from the surface of the canvas at once creating and destructing. How important the size of the canvas is to her work and seeing her paintings as “living” objects. We discuss past, current, and future projects. How Evelyn has found navigating the contemporary art industry as a young woman and unlocking the full potential of abstract painting.
A heartfelt thanks to Pam Evelyn and Pace Gallery for their time and dedication to this podcast episode.
