Evan Colbert is an artist of the information age and an accomplished printmaker who has printed and self-published many of his own prints. He has an inventive and unorthodox approach to materials and techniques for executing his paintings and prints.
“My lithographs “In Between Days” and “A Question of Time” are based on a series of monotypes I have created over the past couple years. In the monotypes I layer color fields, forms, patterns, and arrays of dots or other shapes onto dozens of sheets of paper in a process somewhat like sketching. I collect found objects to use as stencils to physically print from or to photocopy. A few objects used in the making of these prints are perforated metal sheets, wooden wine crate supports, dot matrices from espresso machine parts, and old photographic slides, arranged in a grid. I selected two of my favorite monotypes to translate into the lithographs you see here.”
Evan Colbert received a BFA degree from Metropolitan State College of Denver in 2003. He has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, CO; the Arvada Center for Visual Arts, CO; the Detroit Museum of New Art, MI and others.
His work is in the collections of the Arkansas Art Center, Little Rock; US Department of State, Washington, DC; Ericksson Radiotelecommunications, Stockholm, Sweden; the Auraria Center for Photography, Denver, CO and others.
