CAROLYN EVANS
Carolyn Evans began her art career as a sculptor. In the early 1990s, she began
experimenting with oils when, on a lark, she took a knife, dug into the gobs of
paint on her husband’s palette and applied it to plywood. “I’d build a painting like
I would build a sculpture,” she said.
Evans’ paintings are “at once both deceptively sophisticated and disarmingly
simple,” according to Daniel Piersol of the New Orleans Museum of Art.
“Moreover, they are not the work of a naïve or untutored creator but of one
trained in a traditional course of fine arts instruction.” He credits her with
solving the problem first posed by Picasso of how to retain a child’s artistic
ability after growing up.
Katherine French, director of the Danforth Museum of Art, would agree. “Much
has been made of the simplified shapes which Evans has used throughout her
career. She has been consistently compared to Picasso and Klee.”
