Interview with Rob Evans for the 2011 exhibit at the Crary Art Gallery

Mystery and Metaphor
Works by Rob Evans

May 8 - June 5, 2011

Exhibition opens to the public
Sunday, May 8, 12-4pm

Rob Evans' paintings are evocative renditions of a world perhaps more closely allied with dreams than our everday reality. We are pleased to host an exhibition of this accomplished artist's oil paintings as well as drawings and prints, some of which will be available for sale.

Mr. Evans is an independent curator as well as an artist, and lives in southeast Pennsylvania. He received a BFA from Syracuse University in 1981 and has been awarded grants from the Ford Foundation, the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the E.D. Foundation, the Eben Demarest Trust and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

Mr. Evans' meticulous paintings and drawings have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions and is enthusiastically collected. His work can be found in many public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art; National Gallery of Art; Corcoran Museum of Art; Achenbach Foundation; Davis Museum of Wellesley College; Portland Art Museum; State Museum of Pennsylvania; Noyes Museum of Art; James A. Michener Art Museum; Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art; Lancaster Museum of Art; Allentown Art Museum; and the University of Delaware. His paintings have been featured in numerous books, newspapers and magazines and on public radio and television.

Special Event / Reception
Open to Crary Art Gallery members only: Mr. Evans will give a PowerPoint lecture about his work both as an artist and a curator, titled "Transforming the Commonplace." There will be a gallery reception afterward, in which members are invited to see his work up close and talk with the artist.
