Evan Schwartz was born in Lake Forest, IL. in 1982. He was given his first solo show at Shroeder Romero in Williamsburg in 2005 while still a student at Pratt Institute. It was for his work at this time that he received a review in the New York Times, where Holland Cotter proclaimed he cannot wait to “look forward to more intense and startling work in the future” from Mr. Schwartz. Works by Evan Schwartz can also be seen in L.A. Ruocco’s Xero and in the permanent collection of Yeshiva University. Mr. Schwartz currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
