Tierra del Sol Gallery presents Evan Hynes’ Rebel’s Kingdom, his second solo exhibition with the gallery. Hynes’ superpower is twofold: his playful depiction of real people as superheroes, and his deep saturation of color. The exhibition highlights Hynes’ complex compositions that layer color, material, geometry and text. His drawings build from sharpie outlines to deeply saturated color fields embedded with silhouettes, as well as forms and abstracted architecture that expertly situate the background in support of a principal subject that is an historical figure, family or friend of Hynes. Rebel’s Kingdom is formed by several distinct bodies of work, most notably his Master Piece series, comprised of drawings of Hynes’ girlfriend Amanda. With ephemeral works that seem to be barely contained on the paper, this joyful practice makes the exhibition a much-needed experience. Here rebellion is less about violence and more about collective emotion as a gathering of portraits and people intent on celebrating all the ways our superhuman abilities make knowing and community possible.
Evan Hynes’ Rebel’s Kingdom opens at Tierra del Sol Gallery in West Hollywood on Saturday, March 15th with a reception from 6-8 pm. The exhibition will be on view through May 3rd, 2025.
