About the Item
This work on canvas is a mixed media abstract work featuring hues of blue and pink.
Evan is inspired by the works of Frank Bowling, Helen Frankenthaler, Candida Alvarez and Dorothy Hood.
In her latest body of work “Perennial Trace,” Atlanta-based artist Evan Blackwell Helgeson explores the multifaceted nature of recollection, reimagination, and remaking as functions of growth through layered abstract paintings.
“The line ‘My soul has grown deep like the rivers,’ from Langston Hughes poem, “The Negro Speaks of Rivers,” has underpinned the making of this body of work,” says Evan. “A river–in all of its rising, falling, rushing, and meandering– marks time by the depths of its riverbed and the tumbling and softening of its ancient sediment; all the while reflecting the ever changing world around it, and being made new through the collection of falling rain, melting snow, and the persistent carving of new bends. It is both a steady presence and an ever changing force: carrying fresh rainfall over ancient banks; making small shifts over time to create new bodies.”
The paintings in this show evoke a sense of constant transformation mimicking light falling across water, rocks on a river bed, garden blooms, or the canopy of a forest composed of forms that are similar but never exactly the same. Many of the works were created utilizing canvases that had been left in various states of completion over the years. Past iterations became the conceptual foundation and physical substrate for the new; further embodying the practice of recollection and reimagination as facets of growth and modes of evolution.
Based in Atlanta, GA, Evan received her MFA from the School of The Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in Boston, MA; and her BFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia in Athens, GA. Her work, including custom, site-specific murals, can be found in corporate, government, and various private collections both local and abroad; as well as installed in a number of commercial spaces ranging from small businesses to corporate, commercial and hospitality.

Evan Blackwell-Helgeson
Evan Blackwell-Helgeson is an Atlanta based artist who works in painting, drawing, installation and ceramics. She received a BFA from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia and a MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts in Boston, MA. Her abstract works delve into the memory and archives of abstraction that span beyond the works of the white male artists of the mid-century who became well-known for “discovering” and making popular this genre of artmaking. She looks to the vast array of textiles from African nations such as Kuba cloth from the Congo, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Incan quipu forms of storytelling, aboriginal paintings from Australia and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. These works are often referred to as “artifacts” rather than “art,” and who’s creators' names are lost and not sought out. She has found that contrary to most art history texts, historically, abstraction has been the work of women and of non-white communities across the globe. Abstraction is timeless, globalized, formal and functional - a way of communicating as well as interpreting the world around us. Her works seek to elevate, celebrate and pay homage to these women, Black and Brown artists and communities by being true to her own intuitive forms of mark making and abstraction.
