Artist Statement
Existing between the individual and society, Evan Robarts pushes forward in his ongoing critique of social mobility within lower income to working class families. Having graduated with a BFA from Pratt Institute in sculpture, Evan Robarts draws his inspiration from his local community of Brooklyn, NY. His concerns are approached as both outsider and insider, having worked as a superintendent for a tenancy in East New York, Brooklyn for several years. This experience has greatly impacted the artist and has become the framework to develop a formal language that speaks on behalf of the people he once cared for and lived with.
