The visual poetry of Mark Evans and Charley Brown harkens back to traditions that began in the Renaissance.
A vernacular borrowed from the Italians.
Whimsically invoking an earlier age.
An approach to the essence of art.
A range of decorative traditions.
Artists in their own right, each with a solo career, working together Mark Evans and Charley Brown became known for turning flat walls into theatrical productions of kinetic energy, pulsing color and fascinating rhythms. On occasion, a latter-day Medici has commissioned the firm to create sensations for private enjoyment in a residence. The barons of palatial resorts around the globe regularly turn to them for signature creations to grace a foyer, a ballroom, or a particularly luxurious restaurant. And through collaborations with leading manufacturers the partnerhship creates dazzling, affordable wallcoverings for commercial, hospitality and residential environments.
