Work

Citing inspirations such as Land Art masters Robert Smithson and Michael Heizer, Everett’s work stems from a centre of intuition and subtly evolves beyond process and creation. At the heart of his practice is an experiment with materials: canvases finely layered by traces of molecular paint pigment, crystalline formations that only so slightly betray their origins as books and magazines, film stills created using the techniques of exposure and black room development as in photography, to name a few.

His most notable solo exhibitions in recent years include ‘Floy’ (2016) in Edouard Malingue Gallery, Hong Kong and ‘Double Pour’ (2015) in Wilding Cran Gallery, Los Angeles. Surveying how ad hoc interventions translate into visually impacting formulations, both shows featured his sculptural performance conceived from wrecking a truck full of milk on a highway in Utah and subsequently filming the process from a helicopter.

In 2014, Edouard Malingue Gallery published Jeremy Everett’s monograph, featuring essays by David Rimanelli and Xue Tan on the occasion of his first solo show in Hong Kong 'No Exit' in the gallery.
