BIO
Evan Peltzman is a painter who has been living and working in New York City since 2010. He is currently an MFA candidate at the School of Visual Arts in New York, graduating in 2026. Born and raised in California’s San Francisco Bay Area during the 1980’s and 90’s, Evan was heavily influenced by the artwork and aesthetic of the local skateboarding, live music and graffiti of the times. San Francisco’s DIY culture of the early 90’s inspired him to get creative with his materials, exhibition venues and studio spaces. This approach to art making continues to follow him today as he builds all of his own wood panels, canvas stretchers and frames in order to use unorthodox materials and make odd-sized work.
You'll like Evan if: you don’t take life too seriously
The force behind my work is largely driven by my lived experience of being born with cerebral palsy and the effect it had both on my childhood and adult life. I hope to connect with the viewer through the presence of obstacles in my work and the frustration, confusion, adaptation and grit that comes along with the cards that we’ve been dealt.
