STIRRINGS OF THE CEILING
2025
Paris, France
Painted on leather paper, "Stirrings Of The Ceiling," presents an abstract and dynamic composition featuring intertwined nude female figures and ethereal horses. The artwork employs a striking contrast of black, beige, and white tones against the textured, tan background. The nude female forms, rendered with bold, sweeping brushstrokes, appear in motion, their curves blending into one another with a sense of fluidity and energy, while the horses emerge as ghostly silhouettes, their flowing manes and muscular lines adding a wild, untamed presence.
The dark black strokes dominate the piece, creating depth and drama, while the lighter beige and white areas highlight the contours of the figures and suggest skin tones. The texture of the leather paper adds a tactile quality, enhancing the raw, expressive nature of the painting. The overall effect is a powerful, dreamlike, almost primal depiction of human and equine connection or struggle. Painting comes in an aluminum frame, with glass.

Nicholas Evans (b. 1982) is an American, Paris-based artist, designer and creative director. Painting is a cornerstone of Evans’ artistic expression, which is largely inspired by personal events, religious symbolism, and historical allegories. In addition to traditional oil and acrylics, Evans uses materials such as plasters, wax, salt and found objects in his works, presenting a way to seek new meaning in elements that have collapsed or eroded over time. Threads of poetry convey the fragmented logic of suffering, squandered love and redemption that push him to create.
After early success in New York’s fashion and creative industry, followed by nearly losing his life to addiction, a liver transplant gave way to new perspective and allowed Evans to recast himself. Inspired to revisit the rudiments of expression through his first love of painting, Nicholas began working under the moniker of Evans Deventer to present his art.
Through Evans Deventer, he is continuously intrigued by the ‘decayed decadence’ of long-held traditions and the looming past, and how to represent them visually. Evans Deventer is also represented as a brick and mortar space, which he designed in 2015, featuring furniture, jewelry and objects, in addition to artwork.
