Subliminal Projects is pleased to present, It’s Still Life, a series of new works by Los Angeles-based artist Jillian Evelyn. The exhibition features a series of paintings, and drawings all created within the months of the pandemic. This new body of work represents the transition of Evelyn’s familiar themes of contorted female figures and the struggles of womanhood, to a new focus on figurative vignettes of personal reflection, presence, and growth.

It’s Still Life is an examination of moments of pause within our days when moments of seemingly mundane gestures or everyday tasks initiate profound realization and perception. Though their tone is palpable, Evelyn’s figures provide little insight into their internal dialog, allowing the viewer to project and reflect on their own daily moments of deliberation with each piece. 

In conjunction with the exhibition, Subliminal Projects is releasing two new limited edition screenprints, “Enjoying the View (pink),” 2020, and “Enjoying the View (blue),” 2020, by Jillian Evelyn, available online only, December 2nd, 10 am at subliminalprojects.com/store. We are excited to reopen our doors with the opening of It’s Still Life on Saturday, November 14th. The gallery will be open by appointment only Saturdays and Sundays from November 14th through December 20th. To make an appointment, please email info@subliminalprojects.com.
