Mario Naves reviews the exhibition Tom Evans on view at Sideshow Gallery, Brooklyn through December 18, 2011.

Naves notes that "The paintings are muscular conflagrations of brusque brushwork and overripe color… Effulgent blues, acidic purples, operatic reds and shocks of green – Evans hasn't met a saturated color he doesn't like. Chromatic indulgence is offset by compositional poise. Each time a painting threatens to disentangle (or explode) into its constituent parts, it’s held in sharp, if sometimes tenuous, check."
