Evewright Arts : Libation

This remarkable edition stands as the third and latest instalment in a celebrated series of print publications, meticulously archiving the evocative and transformative artwork birthed from Evewright Studio. Presented in an impressive 16 page A3 large format, this publication beautifully captures the essence of Libation, which heralded EVEWRIGHT’s inaugural solo exhibition in a public gallery. Within its pages, readers will discover a stunning collection of both new and seminal works that span an extraordinary 20-year journey of artistic evolution. The title, Libation, resonates deeply, symbolising the ceremonial act of pouring a liquid in reverence to ancestors and loved ones who have departed, inviting viewers to engage with the profound themes of remembrance and cultural homage that are woven throughout the exhibition.
