Item Description
Evan Bishop (Yonkers)
Born and raised in the Bronx during the 70s provided the perfect environment for a lifetime of visual arts for Evan Bishop. With the emergence of Hip-Hop as a cultural movement, Evan gravitated to the visual element of the culture; graffiti. During his teens, Evan discovered the power of painting bright and big murals as a tool to convey a message. His desire to paint superseded the dangers of rival graffiti artists, active third rails and the police. After years of developing his skills in color theory, perspective, lettering and character composition on the subways and streets of New York, Evan realized that the thrill wasn’t worth the chance of being caught or killed. He found solace in painting other surfaces - from canvases to bedroom walls, to jean jackets. Upon graduation with Bachelors of Arts in Art Design from NC A&T SU, Evan returned to New York City to create a life for himself. While he prefers to work in acrylic, Evan is confident and capable in other mediums. His style possesses the bold, vibrant colors reminiscent of graffiti art. His personal work depicts his social views, his spiritual truths, and the beauty of Black people and culture.
