#ArtistiInResidenza2026 @james3vans

James Evans è un artista e scrittore originario di New York, attualmente residente a Londra, dove sta completando il suo MFA presso Goldsmiths. È cresciuto in Colorado e ha studiato scrittura creativa presso la University of Colorado at Boulder, prima di trasferirsi a New York. Ha esposto in mostre personali e collettive a livello internazionale.

Durante la residenza artistica a Bienno, Evans alterna la scrittura alla pittura: sta lavorando a un progetto di narrativa di più ampio respiro e, parallelamente, prosegue una serie di dipinti su rete metallica. Entrambe le pratiche esplorano territori concettuali affini e si alimentano reciprocamente. Evans lavora sia nell’ambito della figurazione sia in quello dell’astrazione, utilizzando la rete come elemento intermedio, un materiale definito dal proprio spazio negativo. I supporti che realizza per queste superfici a rete e il modo in cui interagiscono con l’ambiente diventano importanti quanto le superfici pittoriche stesse.

James Evans is an artist and writer from New York, currently living in London as he completes his MFA at Goldsmiths. James grew up in Colorado and studied creative writing at the University of Colorado at Boulder before relocating to New York. He has shown in solo and group shows internationally.

His time in Bienno is split between writing and painting, as he is both working on a longer form fiction project and continuing a series of paintings on mesh. Both practices explore similar conceptual terrain and continually inform one another. Evans works in both figuration and abstraction, with the mesh functioning as an intermediary, a material defined by its own negative space. The supports he builds for these screens and the ways in which they interact with the room become just as critical as his painted surfaces.

Yesterday I had an amazing day at #goldsmithsuniversityoflondon, seeing seven MFA Fine Art students as a visiting tutor, with each artist given 50 minutes for an extended #crit with me. The expectation is always that the student learns something from the tutor, however, such was the sophistication of these young artists’ creative enterprises that I left asking more questions than I arrived with. Fanie Buys explores the power structures at play in the genre of portraiture, revealing that revered tradition to be a damnable delta of calumny, but now Queered like a plume of poppers to trickle back through time and reposition pillars of class, race, self and sex. Zhiying Chen’s malleable abstractions delight in elegant restraint, only to surrender to murmurations of marks that break down painting to its very DNA. James Evans makes painting-objects that test the status of both the act of painting and the nature of ‘objectness’, serving work that - literally - allows the viewer to see through each aspect of its physical and intellectual construction. Jiyoung Pyo takes her viewer to the shadows of her Korean homeland; a space where womanhood is constantly interrogated and (re)calibrated by a male gaze which her paintings contest and ultimately usurp. Arianna Montoya Carvajal, likewise, focuses on the Feminine and Female as tested in her own homeland of Costa Rica. Quiet, knocked-back, pastel-palettes at first soothe only to sting as they whisper (then howl) moments from hardship to abuse. Alaina Cherry paints juicy, beaverish scenes of domestic interiors filled with protagonists, all of whom are her own self-portrait, asking her viewer to witness her own confessions - tactile and tender; passive yet dominant. Finally, Sandy Kim’s pluralist arc embraces performance, painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramic and video. Using their body as their conceptual point of departure, theirs is a world that identifies identity as an abundance of self and other; an effusion of limb, skin, touch, mind and desire, all engaged in the same caressing flow of life, love and loss. Fabulous work by seven wonderful artists. A great day. #onetowatch #emergingart #emergingartists

Pull through, pull through‼️

“We’re taking over the skeletal upper floors of the Aylesham Centre, a space of exposed rebar
and weathered concrete that mirrors the precarity of the works within.
Join us this Thursday as four international artists, James Evans, Xuanmo Zhou, Timothy
Mpofu, and Nico Goldstein, bring their practices “off the hinges.” In a city that demands
perfection, we’re leaning into the friction of displacement.

Opening Night: Thursday, May 14, 7pm
Lily Selavie Gallery (Unit 10, Aylesham Centre, SE15)
Exhibition: May 15–16, 12pm–9pm

@james3vans saw this skeleton sketch by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska at @tate a few months ago and has been patiently waiting to be back in new york so that i could tattoo it on his leg. we finally got to it on his last day here and since he used to live in my very professional tattoo studio he was able to watch double baseball games and see his colorado rockies win and my philadelphia phillies lose (4th slide) i will eventually post more tattoos but until then there is a story highlight called TATTOOS if you would like to come get one and maybe watch sports let me know
