Evan Beloni is an artist, engineer and metal fabricator based in Denver. Evan has years of experience fabricating and installing large scale site specific public art through EG Studio. This experience has included working with architects, designers, curators and fellow fabricators the whole way through the process.
Rather than making up some fancy sounding stuff about some deep retrospective meaning of the art, Evan just makes art that he likes and hopes that you enjoy it too. His current aesthitic direction follows a background in engineering, metal fabrication and machining. As a result, his style is of high quality metal fabrication. Quality welds, visually seamless seams, smooth polish. He has no option but to find himself judgemental with metal art not impressively made, inculding porous welds, holes in seams and cheap, swirly finished stainless steel.
While Evan normally follows a path of creating art with techniques he is expert in, some art also finds its way to reality with developing new techniques. This is the case with his work in dichroics. Dichroic materials have been popular in art and architecture for years. This material reflects and refracts light in different colors so
Evan has been exploring sculpting with the combonation of stainless and mild steel.
His current artistic direction focuses on a timeless and classy integration of highly polished stainless steel with weathered steel along with an exploration into a innovative new implementation of dichroic materials.
