EVAN SEBASTIAN LAGACHE – “Elemental Energy”
Curated by: Debbie Dickinson
One Art Space Gallery: 23 Warren Street, New
York, NY 10007
ONE ART SPACE GALLERY is honored to present Evan Sebastian Lagache with his Solo Exhibition, “Elemental
Energy.” A portion of the proceeds will benefit Save the Children and Children’s
Museum of the Arts’ Hurricane rescue relief for the children of Puerto
Rico. Lagache’s paintings achieve a
unique equilibrium between the technological
and the organic. A single painting may evoke both an electrical grid and an insuppressible ocean wave. The artist
forges a relationship between these two forces; bleeding grids of color relinquish
their structure to shapeless pools of paint while maintaining their steady
vibration. Like a gasoline fire,
Lagache’s paintings follow thin lines of accelerant until they explode into
space.
Lagache
describes his work as a physical performance with his canvas. His technique is kinetic; his bodily movements
organically guide the direction of the flowing paint. Lying beneath the canvas,
Lagache manipulates the stream of color like a conductor, orchestrating the
flow of paint.
At times, these movements send the paint right over the sides of
the canvas, wrapping the frame in color. The result is a brilliant symphony,
devoid of any obvious border to the outside world.
Evan
Sebastian Lagache has the unique ability to view the world around him from different
points of view. His paintings are reflections on personal interactions and the
energies they emit. They are also bird’s eye view maps of city life in all its
daily vibrations. With “Elemental Energy,” Lagache invites us to explore these
perspectives with him. In work like “Mother Nature’s Mother Board” the viewer
slides along paths of dripping paint, experiencing
the vibrations of life both inside and outside of his own being.
Evan
Sebastian Lagache began developing his artistic vision at the Frank Sinatra
School of the Arts frequented by Tony Bennett. At an early age, Evan collected
material from the street- doors, windows, skateboards and tables. These
assembled objects became the basis for his artistic practice.
He took these
objects outdoors, setting up his studio at the Washington Square Monument. It
was there that he was discovered by Julie Keyes Art and invited to debut in the
group show “View from Within” at the Mark Borghi Gallery on the Upper East
Side. The attention Lagache received led to his inclusion in a group show at
The Cupping Room, where “Deep Blue” was purchased by a Parrish Art Museum
Trustee.
These
exhibitions were followed by Lagache’s first solo show, an exhibition at The
Public Factory. There the artist was approached by curator Robert Curcio to be
part of the “20 under 20, Younger than Rimbaud” exhibition at Elga Wimmer
Gallery in Chelsea. Curcio later
featured a work by Lagache at the National Arts Club, and it was sold to Maya
Rudolf of Saturday Night Live.
At Art
Basel 2016, Lagache exhibited at the X Contemporary Art Fair at the Nobu / Eden
Roc hotel in Miami.
In 2017,
Lagache’s work was prominently displayed at the Keyes Art Gallery - Winter
Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida. Salomon Arts gallery displayed a
collection of Lagache’s signature work in the exhibition, “Matter in Movement.”
The Artist’s second solo show, “Abpsyche,” was curated by Julie Keyes at the
Christy’s Art center in Sag Harbor. He most recently presented his work in “Get
Busy Living or Get Busy Dying” 235 Gallery in Chelsea.

Sebastian Lagache resides in New York City, where he is busy preparing his Solo
Exhibition at One Art Space in TriBeCa. “Elemental Energy” opened Saturday,

As of today, thousands of residents are still without access to a
consistent source of clean drinking water. Roads and infrastructure in many
parts of the island remain unstable or unusable. Power has been restored to
some 60 percent of the island. Although most of the island’s 1,113 public
schools are open, those without electricity are only operating on a
half-day schedule. Without full school schedules, families have to adapt their
work schedules to care for children who are out of school for part or all of
the school day.
