Artist: Evelyn Wong | Location: West Columbia, SC
West Columbia, SC
Evelyn Wong is an artist whose curiosity has led to her studying and drawing botanicals. A native of Columbia, SC, Evelyn finds inspiration throughout her home state and enjoys research as a means to gaining knowledge. Her current series of carbon and charcoal drawings, “Finding Romanticism Among Grunge,” consists of ongoing research in which many hours are spent on documenting various plants and parts of plants before she embarks on a final portrait of each specimen.
Each of the completed works in the series shows a specimen as it was found growing, and the overall composition reflects the nature of the environment in which the subject was found. As things grow and change, we find what is there today may not be there many years (or even days) from now. Through documenting a large variety of botanical specimens as they appear throughout the year, the aim of this series is to show the viewer the fundamental essence of each specimen and what surrounds it at a moment in time.
