Zenon Evans works in four directions at once.
-
Representational
Portraits and observation
Oil and acrylic, worked straight. Heads, street scenes, church interiors, landscape.
-
Relief
Physical pixel and squeeze
Paint piped, stacked on a grid, or carved back. Surfaces that hold depth and throw shadow.
-
Corporate
Offices, screens, systems
Cubicles, dev stations, handshakes and HR. Much of it drawn flat in isometric projection.
-
Medium
Kinetic Sculptures
Hardware, motors, a Raspberry Pi and custom software. Some of them watch back.

About
Zenon Evans is an artist based in Chicago. He works in oil and acrylic across several parallel bodies of work, some of them straightforward painting from observation, others built on a system — a grid, a piped line, an eyedropper, a fixed isometric angle.
The subjects move between Orthodox icons and classical sculpture, street scenes from Delhi and Varanasi, church interiors in Tbilisi, and the flat interior world of offices, screens and software. A separate strand of kinetic assemblages is built from salvaged electronics.
