Evan Halter

Evan Halter (b. 1990) combines strategies from Renaissance theories of perspective with an interest in the modern vocabularies of 20th century abstraction and surrealism. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he completed the New York Studio Residency Program in 2011. In 2013, he graduated with a BFA from the Art Academy of Cincinnati. Moving back to the east coast to continue his studies, Halter received his MFA from Rutgers University in 2016. At Rutgers, his practice developed toward a more precise and representational mode of painting, incorporating classical trompe l’oeil with atmospheric spaces. Halter’s work has been shown in one-person presentations at The Gallery at W83, The Java Project, Clay St Press, Mom's, Neon Heater, and YES Gallery. His work has also been included in numerous group exhibitions, at venues such as Pablo’s Birthday, Rolando Anselmi Gallery, Johannes Vogt Gallery, Ille Arts, Dress Shop Gallery, and Corridor.
