NICHOLAS EVANS-CATO
Artist Statement

Brooklyn based artist Nicholas Evans-Cato draws his inspiration from the continually changing landscape of New York City. He has stated: “These perspectives are an effort to exploit the pictorial potential of the urban grid.” Fascinated by the many different perspectives through which the city can be viewed, Evans-Cato depicts shadow and detail at street level. “While box-like urban canyons frame motifs best captured in a square format, panoramic perspectives from shorelines and rooftops explode these tight spaces, and curvilinear trajectories mirror the dome of the sky.”
 
Just as aerial and waterfront views engender altered perspectives, so too does the weather. Evans-Cato frequently paints in the rain and snow which transpose the hard edges and straight urban lines. He explains that “While the rectangular building and orthogonal street grid may be the ultimate manifestation of the urban environments presumed inter logic, in the rain and fog, even the most brutally straight lines are softened.”
