Reassessing Excess

Solo exhibition with TAS Vancouver at City Centre Artist Lodge

TAS Vancouver - “Leftover house paint, colour swatches, stir sticks, fabric off cuts, collage material stowed away and forgotten about, paint at the bottom of the yoghurt container: Remnants of a creative process.

Ben Evely’s solo show Reassessing Excess builds on an interest in repurposing materials which accumulate in a studio practice. Whether it be paint leftover after a mural project, fabric found in a thrift shop, or the canvas off cuts from larger works. 

Evely explores possibilities in making creative use of the excess that exists around us, rethinking the value of materials, and finding ways of making unusual compositions.”
