Evoca1


The article mentions CJ Hendry who began by posting her artwork on her Instagram account and she now collaborates with galleries and brands. Her work inspired me to look for other artists known for their work published to Instagram. With his real name unknown, Evoca1, is a self taught artist who was born in the Dominican Republic but has lived in Florida since the age of 11. His nickname comes from the Spanish word "evocar" which means to evoke. Most of his paintings are street murals that show the difficulties impoverished people have to face which evokes feelings in the viewers. The piece shown above is called "Running With The Wolves" and it shows a homeless man struggling to protect what is important to him against society.
