'Reflections' by Evan Halter: W83 Gallery virtual exhibit


The Gallery at W83 is proud to present their first virtual exhibition, “Reflections” by Evan Halter. This exhibit will be on view exclusively online here from May 5 to June 5.

“Reflections” features Evan Halter’s paintings of selected elements from images throughout art history, refocusing the viewer’s eye on what might otherwise be overlooked, both on the canvas, and in life.

Evan Halter is interested in painting’s ability to function in multiple states simultaneously, namely as both illusory space and physical surface. He works through various media such as oil on canvas and panel, as well as watercolor or gouache on paper. The imagery in Halter’s work often comes directly from Art History. Using works by artists such as Fra Angelico, Juan Sánchez Cotán, and Albrecht Dürer as source material, Halter’s goal is to use these references as a means of pointing toward something non-material, something we can grasp at, but that continually evades us.
