From intimate figurative paintings to richly textured ceramic masks, Evan Oberholster’s work explores the many expressions of the human form.
01 / Paintings
Ordinary, unpretentious, yet quietly provocative — Evan’s nude paintings do not shout for attention. Instead, they draw the viewer in with an unexpected kind of intimacy: one built on recognition, honesty, and presence. These are not anonymous or abstract bodies; they are lived-in, local, and emotionally legible.

02 / Ceramic masks
Evan’s sculpted ceramic masks explore the expressive power of the human face through an interplay of form, texture and colour. Each piece is individually shaped, with some raku-fired to reveal the distinctive crackled glaze, while others feature intricate patterns, rich glazes and layered surface detail.
