Evan Hobart

The art I make is very much inspired by my surroundings. Having spent parts of my life living in larger metropolitan areas, I have been profoundly affected by these urban environments, and it has entered into the art and imagery I create. Along with my empathy for nature, my artwork emerges out of an interrogation of modern life, consumerism, corporate greed, global climate change, and the cultural consciousness of these phenomena. Bumper to bumper traffic, war, pollution and the over-developed, unsustainable life style we live often distress me, and I am compelled to comment on these conditions. My work addresses these contemporary issues and is a reflection of my position as a participant in this society.
