Lives and works in New Jersey
Brendan McEvoyBrendan McEvoy is an artist who currently lives and works in Westfield, New Jersey. McEvoy's practice is primarily described as vibrant, optimistic and highly colorful. With a style which often includes bright, spontaneous marks . Sometimes including recurring images as flowers and figures. His work often seeks to hold a simplicity in form, showcasing a cheerful, whimsical nostalgia, often childlike at heart. He paints to evoke a feeling that can be acknowledged emotionally and physically from the materials used that are present to each viewer. By choosing common material’s like watercolors and pastels, McEvoy brings forth a classic to the present hour. Allowing the skill of application to shine through this exploration of color. As much as McEvoy’s process embraces chance, he retains complete command over the basic parameters. It is a harmonious collaboration between control and chaos, chance with limitations as seen in his Kaleidoscope series.
Artist Statement
“ Being a creative is taking a concept re-imagining it, extracting that information and taking action in transmitting its idea of vulnerability and excitement.
I believe as creatives, showcasing our work to others, supplies us with the artist’s information which may allow us to grow in a direction meant to be understood. What we see, touch and taste allows our inner guidance to take lead. This transfer is what shakes our inner world and shifts our moods and doings.
Hope is in my creations which may allow this to take place.
Choosing to use color at the center of my work is the exact intention in creating that feeling I hope you experience. That feeling of taking your first step outside for the day. It’s freeing and drives ambition. This feeling is what I hope you capture when looking at my work. A momentum that you can take for the rest of the day. This life needs color and I’m here to capture it.”
