Experiencing the art by Evan Hecox could be described as having a moment of zen on a trip - when something that you’d walk right by in your everyday life instead makes you stop, take it in, look at the lines, shapes and colors, and really think about it for a moment. It might be a building, a motorcycle, a mountain, a house - but whatever it is, a snapshot is clearly imprinted in your mind.

And that’s exactly what drives Evan - he’s fascinated with the complexity of the urban landscape and people from the mundane surroundings that one would normally overlook. His approach is on the process of amplification as it affects form and color, breaking down the image to remove certain elements while emphasizing others.

Ultimately, his art is about exploring human existence, both in how we affect our environment and how it affects us. His work has design references from Japanese prints, European poster design, 1960’s era illustration, as well as Bauhaus typography and folk art, and for more than 20 years he created graphics for the brand Chocolate Skateboards, as well as high-profile collaborations with brands from Nike to Volkswagen. As a fine artist, he was featured as one of the original “Beautiful Losers” and has shown his work in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.
