Allouche Gallery, Los Angeles presents “xanadu”, a solo showing of works by Los Angeles-based artist, Ben Evans. In this new series of paintings and mixed media works, we step into Evans’ world of voluptuous, melodramatic and reflective subjects. Pulling from his surroundings, Evans’ paintings evoke longing and desire with an ominous stillness among the vibrance of California. Bringing into question the glossy perfection of idealized California, “xanadu” plays off themes of abundance, leisure and isolation in the neo-noir narratives.
