Working in the medium of video, Cliff Evans’ works are a mash-up of unrelated styles that mesh effortlessly. Evans uses a rich variety of imagery sources, such as Northern Renaissance devotional paintings, and blends these into present-day single and multi-channel digital video pieces resulting in cohesive works that portray his outlook on the modern and future worlds. Evans was born on a commune in Darkwood, New South Wales, Australia in 1977. He has lived in Austin, TX; New Orleans, LA; and now resides in Brooklyn, NY. Evans graduated in 2002 from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA where he was recently visiting faculty in video arts. Evans is represented in Washington DC by Curator’s Office www.curatorsoffice.com.
