Garth Evans

Tiro al Blanco presents A través de la forma, a solo exhibition by Garth Evans.

Garth Evans is central to the story of contemporary british sculpture. His work, which consistently experiments with the potential of scale, weight, medium, and form, engages both a formal and conceptual approach, focusing on the process of reconsidering sculptural possibilities. A hallmark of evans’s long and important career is how he consistently reviews his practice, rejecting any aesthetic position that has become too comfortable. This approach has given rise to a number of apparently distinct bodies of work. Sustaining this self-questioning endeavor throughout his long career has required evans to maintain an unusual level of intellectual and emotional rigor. His ongoing interest in working with new materials and processes to examine established boundaries has resulted in sculptures made from a diverse range of materials, including wood, steel, rubber, plastic ceramics, and fiberglass. For evans this process of exploration is deeply personal; he states that many of his works, even when most abstract, are “triggers for and containers of particular identifiable memories.”

Each of Garth Evans’ works is ambiguous, multifaceted, and completely original. All of his works, no ma!er the material, form, and method of production, share qualities of an intangible, mysterious, and beguiling serenity.
