About the Item

IN GIRUM IMUS 2024 Paris, France This painting has a weathered, almost ancient quality, created on dyed antique Belgian linen with acrylic paint. The linen’s rich brown surface appears aged and textured, with cracks and fissures highlighted in white, giving the impression of something worn, fractured, or eroded over time. The deliberate imperfections create a sense of history, as if the piece has been exposed to the elements or uncovered after years in obscurity. Centered within the composition is a line of text, spaced out methodically: “INGIRUM IMUS NOCTE ET CONSUMIMUR IGNI.” This Latin phrase translates to “We wander in the night and are consumed by fire,” often linked to moths drawn to a flame. The phrase, combined with the saturated surface, suggests themes of repetition, inevitability, and destruction—perhaps a meditation on human nature, time, or fate. The combination of antique Belgian linen and acrylic paint reinforces the tension between old and new, permanence and decay. The restrained palette and minimalistic design heighten the sense of mystery, making the painting feel like a relic—something unearthed rather than created—inviting the viewer to contemplate its hidden meanings and the passage of time it seems to embody. Evans Deventer stamp on back of canvas features name, year and place of the work, alongside artist, Nicholas Evans', signature. Please inquire directly for questions or to explore alternative shipping options. Nicholas Evans woks under the moniker of Evans Deventer to present his art. Through Evans Deventer, he is continuously intrigued by the ‘decayed decadence’ of long-held traditions and the looming past, and how to represent them visually.
