Evoke Presents "Specter"
Something haunting is coming to Evoke Gallery this October…
Evoke presents Specter, an exhibition that delves into the fragile boundary between life and what lingers beyond. Each artist captures the ephemeral nature of the macabre across various mediums, offering space for works that explore the quiet tensions of our world, and beyond.
We’re curating works that delve into the quiet tensions of both our world and what lies beyond. Specter is a dark and twisted exploration of what lies beyond the surface. From October 19th to November 2nd, immerse yourself in an exhibition that delves into the eerie, the grotesque, and the beauty found in the dark.
Specter is a moment, a pause, allowing the art to seep into our psyches, urging us to listen to the faint whispers within each piece. As you move through the exhibition, you are called to confront the lingering thoughts that usually stay hidden, the ones that exist in the darkest corners of your mind.
This is a space to sit with what haunts us; to find beauty within it, and to acknowledge that maybe, we’re all a little haunted.
