Keith B. Evans
Keith's photographs of architecture and the worlds everyday flotsam and jetsam capture the beauty of the unnoticed world and the world that surrounds us everyday. With a sensitive eye they embody a minimalist beauty and rich, saturated colors.

Simple Progress
Greetings friends!
Well the Simple Gallery benefit was a wonderful first event. I have learned new things and have gotten a wonderful response from artists as well as some great encouragement from the public. I have been looking at a few spaces though I don't foresee a move until closer to fall/winter '09-'10. Many artists have gotten in touch with me about showing their work when the gallery opens and I am delighted by the amount of interest! I enjoy studio visits and talking with artists about their work, this is the main reason I am starting Simple Gallery. It also says to me that artists are eager to bring their work into the public sphere, showing in a place they feel comfortable. Simple Gallery is about leaving the pretension at the door. I hope to be doing some more studio visits soon and will post some photos and interviews with these artists.
More soon...
Thanks for reading everyone!
