In 2016, Evan participated in the TAKT Berlin artist residency where he saw Berlin’s art museums, galleries and the latest street art.

I use realistic painting techniques to create atmospheric figurative artwork. As my paintings become more narrative, I want the viewer to see a story behind the painting. As I continue to develop my style, I am adding surreal elements, such as the background figures in Blue Riverdream and Princess Dreaming, and I am also experimenting with mystical themes, such as Tarot cards in The Enchantress. My most narrative painting, Alice at Wonderfest, reinterprets the story of Alice and Wonderland by making the characters into counter-culture revelers at an outdoor festival. Creating art that tells a story while putting us in a perfect moment is my main goal. Evan Goldman exhibits his artwork nationally and internationally. He has had multiple solo exhibitions at the Yellow Barn Gallery in Maryland and has exhibited his work at Dacia Gallery’s SoHo Art Show in New York City, the Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art in Wisconsin and Takt Gallery in Berlin.
