About the Item
"PRACTICE ON ME"
2025
Paris, France
“Practice on Me” is a study of intimacy and surrender, a reflection on the vulnerability that exists between devotion and desire.
Two figures, their identities obscured, merge in an embrace that feels both tender and unsettling. Their Renaissance-inspired garments, a cascade of muted golds and ghostly whites, heighten the sense of timelessness, as if the scene belongs to neither the past nor the present.
The painting, executed in oil on an antique wood panel, carries a tactile history within its surface. The wood’s raw edges on top and bottom breathe life into the composition, grounding its sensuality in something corporeal and imperfect.
The folds of fabric are painted with strong attention to depth and light, their movement echoing the emotional tension between connection and control. The title, “Practice on Me,” invites contemplation... of love as ritual, of trust as experiment, and of the ways we offer ourselves to be known.
There is no hanging mechanism on the back of the painting. It is recommended to either lean the piece, or upon request we can add d-hooks and wire for hanging. Artist's signature, along with the name of the work, year and place of completion, is on the back.

Nicholas Evans
Nicholas Evans is an American, Paris-based artist, designer and creative director. Painting is a cornerstone of Evans’s 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, lost 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 a new perspective and allowed Evans to reinvent 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.
