Evan Nesbit’s inventive multidisciplinary practice includes canvases that combine painting and textiles as well as multimedia sculptures. Nesbit’s work is largely concerned with exploring the ways that materiality and patterns can affect perception. His highly textured abstract paintings often feature geometric schemas rendered in bright palettes out of materials including acrylic and ink on vinyl or burlap. Other works focus on playing with the physical act of perception, in some cases using quilts to obscure sources of light and induce three-dimensional after-images. Nesbit earned a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2009 and an MFA from Yale in 2012. He has exhibited in New York City, Los Angeles, Berlin, Tokyo, Milan, Geneva, and San Francisco.
