SIMON EVANS (WINNER OF 2014 CANSON® PRIZE) - ON HEAVEN'S DOOR

PALAIS DE TOKYO

Simon Evans is a duo of self-taught artists, bringing together Simon Evans (born in 1972 in London, lives and works in New York) and Sarah Lannan (born in 1984 in the USA, lives and works in New York).

 

The works Simon Evans are expressed in graphics and diagrams, schemas and plans, classifications and inventories. On these rationalising tools are superimposed autobiographical tales, metaphysical speculations or else other unclassifiable observations; poetic, analytical or absurd considerations, in the form of moving and intuitive writings, in touch with the “exterior”.

 

 

By mixing drawings, words and collages, most often using sticky-taped elements, and by arranging bits of debris on paper, or scraps and rebuses collected while wandering around the city, their works sketch out with poetry and humour the contours of a mental geography, written with four hands.
