Evan Nesbit — Porosity (Yellow Tablet)
Evan Nesbit

Porosity (Yellow Tablet)

2014

Evan Nesbit's *Porosity (Yellow Tablet)* features acrylic paint applied to the rough, open weave of burlap, allowing the material's natural texture to actively shape the work's surface and composition. The interplay between the saturated yellow tones and the coarse fabric creates a sense of absorption and permeability, as pigment seeps into and around the textile's fibers. The piece reflects Nesbit's ongoing investigation into the physical and structural properties of painting itself, blurring the boundary between material support and painted image.
