Please join us this Friday on August 1, from 5-8PM for the Opening Reception of "Wayfinding" by Evan Karatzas in the Lobby Gallery at 3S.
–
Evan Karatzas explores abstract imagery that emphasizes gesture and movement. Working mostly with handmade tools and palette knives, his acrylic work on paper and canvas panel capture moments that can feel both chaotic and serene.
The exhibition includes Karatzas' "Whisp" series, eliciting windswept moments of controlled chaos captured in still frame. The imagery can feel at once tranquil and tumultuous, reflecting the complex mix of fear, self-doubt and pride that often comes from working in new and unfamiliar territory. This series makes use of constructed tools and brushwork to apply overlapping strokes that form shapes that appear to rotate and move in three-dimensional space.
