What’s going on Evan Hencox? A new show for you? Oh super! At the Joshua Liner Gallery the guy who pains scenes with nice flares of color has a brand new show coming up. This man, Hencox, has done a super-ton of a lot of prints, screenprints with a large amount of layers n inks. This show is made of his original works – his paintings. Splendiferous!

Usually this man makes prints with Arktip with tones on the mute. This show is exciting because it’s his paintings. His prints are based on his paintings, and are really super! But these are even better. Peek a take!

Joshua Liner Gallery is pleased to present The Last Thousand Years, an exhibition of new paintings and mixed-media works by the Denver-based artist Evan Hecox. This is Hecox’s first solo show with the gallery.

Working in gouache on panel, Hecox brings an articulate but gentle eye to the urban landscapes he visits throughout the world (earlier series have referenced Mexico City and San Francisco). With a documentarian’s instinct for framing an evocative scene, the artist pulls forward certain elements by accentuating them with high color in contrast to otherwise subdued tones of gray, tan, cream, and black.

Hecox draws on recent travels to Vietnam, depicting the bustling street life of Ho Chi Minh City and other locales. The scenes teem with pushcarts, bicycles, cars, and people—most hurrying in crisscrossed trajectories, with the occasional long black braid of hair among the cacophony of commercial signs and shop fronts. These cinematic snapshots of urban life are given a uniform visual quality through Hecox’s lovely, muted palette.

Below you’ll find a FULL preview of the show. Pieces range from $6,000 to $1,200, then there’s a screenprint of this lovely mother that’ll be an edition of 50 for $350. The pictures you see that look like collage: they are! They consist of ink, gouache and collage on paper and are on the lower end of the money scale. The ones that cost the most are the big paintings, and you’ll know em when you see em.

If you’re wanting to see this thangs in person, head on over to the gallery!
