Franklin Evans’s paintings and installations have long explored the artist’s studio, with references ranging from Henri Matisse and Pierre Bonnard to Laura Owens and Kerry James Marshall. Akin to an art historical lexicon, his latest paintings address the theme of originality through an array of jumbled maximalist configurations. An illustrated catalogue with an essay by A.i.A. contributor Raphael Rubinstein accompanies the show.
