| Evol, also known as Tore Rinkveld, is a Berlin-based artist born in 1971. He is best known for transforming everyday features of cityscapes into miniature concrete tower blocks through the medium of paint. Inspired by architecture, he paints directly onto the surface of electric enclosures, concrete planters, and other familiar elements of the modern city. He also works on found materials such as cardboard. Evol's background in graffiti is evident in his artistic skills, which he uses to explore the inner workings of the city and make us look at our surroundings in a new light. He often takes photographs of buildings, particularly those in the postwar socialist architecture of the former East Germany, and uses them as inspiration for his works. Evol's art draws attention to the striking geometry of architecture and everyday details we sometimes take for granted. His works are often unpopulated by figures but contain signs of life, inviting viewers to imagine the exteriors of compartments in which people live and work. Evol has had several solo and group exhibitions in various cities around the world, including Berlin, New York, and Tokyo. |
