Fine Art: Artist Statement and Technique

My imagery is a concoction of influence from the natural concealed world, instinct, and the cavernous depths of imagination and subconscious. The process is a provoking push and pull journey within medium and self with sporadic introductions of chaos to ensure an unpredictable voyage towards the concluding outcome.

When working, I investigate the interior terrain favoring an existence within a silent emblematic space. I deposit symbols, characters, and texture -following an intuitive voice leading to unanticipated and surprising consequences. The creation first begins as a sequence of visual ramblings in sketchbook. Intermittently, unsystematic rudiments and marks of disorder are introduced; on occasion regions destroyed or erased acting as a reaction trigger. It’s a procedure of embracing an atmosphere of unpredictability and Memento Mori.

When the illustration has attained a condition of termination, it is then transmitted to canvass, panel, or printed in the intaglio method.

Affiliation with the San Francisco Cacophony Society

Kevin’s first encounter with The Cacophony Society was with its ancestor, The San Francisco Suicide Club. Growing up in California’s central valley town of Fresno, Evans read accounts of the organization in various San Francisco periodicals that made their way to the mundane agricultural locale. One memorable article featured a group of naked hippies commandeering a cable car.

Years later, Evans relocated to San Francisco in 1985 to attend art school. Eventually, Kevin stumbled upon the Suicide Club’s successor, The Cacophony Society, two years after its founding in 1986. Coincidentally, a classmate and friend from art school, Carrie Galbraith, was involved in Cacophony and Evans was brought into the fold in the summer of 1987.

In 1989, Kevin Evans attended a wind sculpture festival located in Nevada's ethereal Black Rock Desert organized by artists Mel Function and John Bogard of Planet X. Kevin, so impressed by the magnificent locale, began planning a 1990 Labor Day return with Cacophonist John Law, framed as “Zone Trip 4, Bad Day at Black Rock”. That same year, the Burning Man event on Baker Beach in San Francisco had been shut down by local authorities. Evans and Law, in attendance, invited the effigy and its architects to join the cacophonous journey to Nevada.

 A sampling of other Cacophony events Evans co-sponsored include the revival of the Suicide Club’s Sewer Tours, Descent into Necropolis (a midnight supernatural literary tour of Oakland’s Mountain View cemetery) and other subterranean explorations.
