Simon Evans: Island Time April 1, 2009

Simon Evans is a London-born artist, who currently lives and works in Berlin. A former pro-skateboarder and writer, Evans found his voice as a visual artist and has been exhibiting his work since 2003. This is the artist's New York gallery debut show. Simon Evan's delicate text-based works are collaged and assembled from prosaic materials including found paper, scotch tape, pencil shavings, colored pencil and white out. The exhibition 'Island Time' will be installed over two galleries with titles such as 'Escape and Rescue Plan' and 'Everything I Have' that point to inspiration taken from both the mundane and personal. The title of the show 'Island Time' is a reference to Robinson Crusoe and the hand-made objects that were critical to his survival on a desert island.
