Evan Mazellan is an artist who currently works in Detroit, MI. His paintings grapple with privacy, injury, and ownership, lifting objects and materials directly from personal photos and digital media. He explores the sought-after transformation found in restoration and surgery. He earned his MFA in Painting from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, MI (2024).
Mazellan’s solo exhibitions include Massey Klein Gallery, New York, NY (2022); and Bunker East and Bunker West, Malibu, CA (2021). His work has also been included in two-person and group exhibitions at the Cranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills, MI (2024); Lisa Boudet, Paris, France (2024); Chilli, London, UK (2024)'; Mouse Gallery, Detroit, MI (2024); and Shrine Gallery New York, NY (2021). His work has been featured in print and online publications including New American Paintings, Architectural Digest, Artsy, and Two Coats of Paint.
Upcoming projects include an exhibition at Diener Gallery, Boston, MA, this December.
