Gallery Henoch Presents a Spotlight on Artists John Evans and Steve Smulka
John Evans' solo exhibition is now in its first week. For this we highlight two paintings, Smelling the Moon In Your Perfume and No Frogs In Sight. We see the artistic process at work as Evans explores a single composition in successive canvases. As a prime example, the imagery for the canvas No Frogs in Sight is derived from a section seen at the top of Smelling the Moon in Your Perfume. By zooming in on an area Evans reinvents the composition and creates a show full of unexpected surprises.
