Evan Mazellan’s paintings grapple with privacy, injury, and ownership, lifting images from news media, personal photos, and belongings in and around the studio. Familiar images and objects take on new meaning as they are fragmented and re-assembled into a pictorial space that highlights the permanence found in news media archiving and mass production. Mazellan explores the sought-after transformation found in restoration and medical surgery, where the pursuit of enhancement can swing between helping and harming, a process prone to unexpected outcomes and mishaps.
