Franklin Evans' artistic universe blurres the lines between reality and illusion. By incorporating materials such as tape, bubble wrap, old newsprint, and unstretched canvas, Evans defines himself as a materialist, echoing the practices of Kerry James Marshall and Henri Matisse in a contemporary key.
"Sumofallofus" serves as a exploration of the contemporary human experience, investigating important themes of social commentary and cultural introspection related to the chaotic profusion of images and the confusion of conflicting messages characteristic of present society.
Through the exhibition "sumofallofus," we extend an invitation to visitors to immerse themselves in Evans' world, encouraging them to envision their own identities within the collective narrative of "the sum of all of us."
