Lines & Lost Lines - Limited Edition of 8 Artwork

Panca Evenblij (1972) is a multimedia artist based in Amsterdam. Born in Gouda and raised in Voorburg, Evenblij studied architectural design at the Utrecht School of Arts (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, HKU), with the intention of designing large, outdoor spaces. Drawing the designs, however, appealed to her more than executing them, compelling her to study drawing for one year at the Wackers Academie in Amsterdam, before returning to HKU, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting in 1998. Initially a painter of black, abstract expressionist works which sought to create depth and space on monumental canvases, Evenblij expanded her practice to more diverse media upon moving to New Delhi, India in 2002, and Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2005, where she held numerous exhibitions of her installation works made of found materials, photography, silk screen prints, drawings and smaller paintings. In Phnom Penh she also provided instruction in contemporary art practices to Cambodian fine art students, several of whom have gone on to have international art careers. After returning to Amsterdam in 2009, continued her constant practice of drawing while raising her two young children, before commencing Borrowed Spaces in 2014, a cyclic exploration of depth using photography, drawing, and artificial intelligence designed by Albert de Roos. The project is ongoing.
