Hypeart Visits: Joshua Evans
Joshua Evans moves with the quiet certainty of someone who understands that growth happens over time. There is no rush in his practice and no interest in spectacle. When Hypeart visited Evans in his Brooklyn studio, where he is currently based, that mindset was easy to feel.

I have to keep it clean,” he says. “I cannot work in a Francis Bacon-esque studio.”Evans grew up in Mobile, Alabama, where drawing was just part of life. It was never framed as a career or an escape plan. It was simply something that felt natural. As a quiet kid, art gave him a way to stay focused and process things internally. That relationship shifted in college, when a period of depressi...
