Always exciting to be introducing another talented artist to the Mockingbird Gallery family, and this time is no exception. Evan C. Abrahamson of Waconia, Minnesota has just sent us these amazing mixed media works featuring beautiful still life and landscape subject matter. We now have them on display and encourage you to stop by to see them in person
“My work navigates the shifting terrain between control and chance, a tension that echoes the unpredictability and intricacy of our everyday experiences. This dialectic becomes not just a method, but a mode of seeing—an entry point into a visual language built from materials in conversation with one another. I begin with a ground of gesso and pumice, coarse and resistant, functioning both as a compositional sketch and a physical landscape—scarred, gritty, and alive. Over this surface, materials accumulate: transparent washes of acrylic drift like weather, pen and ink lines carve out clarity, and oil settles with weight and finality. Each medium asserts its own voice—each interruption, each gesture negotiated—until the surface resolves into a fragile harmony. The work is not about the image alone, but the act of balancing contradiction—intention and accident, permanence and impermanence, thought and touch.“ ~Evan Abrahamson.
