Evan Cantor is a long-time Colorado wilderness artist, celebrating the beauty and spirit of nature. Inspiration comes from tree dotted mountain valleys, many layered cliff walls, whispering streams, red rock mesas and snow covered forests. Evan’s work captures the essence of a scene, going beyond the mind of the viewer to touch the emotional level, the level of the soul. His landscapes engage the viewer’s recognition of both place and feeling.
Evan regards and admires nature as this world’s ultimate artist. Nature exists not because of us or for us, but simply because it is. Although he accepts the challenge of art as an effort to tap into the stream of a cosmic consciousness, Evan claims that the best he can do as a mere mortal, is to depict some part of what nature has already accomplished.
Merging the spiritual values of the transcendentalists with an impressionist and psychedelic aesthetic, he brings a personal interpretation to the natural world. That his work may touch others in the process is a surreal mystery that he has always cherished.
