Fred Eversley (E 1964)鈥�
础谤迟颈蝉迟鈥�
Doctor of Fine Arts

Fred Eversley is a key figure in the development of contemporary art from Los Angeles during the聽postwar period. Now based in New York after living and working in Venice Beach, CA, for over 50 years,聽Fred synthesizes elements from several art historical movements associated with Southern California,聽including light and space.

Fred is an electrical engineer graduate and worked for Wyle Laboratories, California, where he was聽contracted to build high-intensity acoustic facilities for NASA鈥檚 Apollo and Gemini missions, until聽becoming an artist in 1967. His sculptures are informed by energy concepts and astrodynamics. He plays聽subtly with optical effects of color and light, often using his invention of spinning liquid polyester resin,聽utilizing centrifugal forces, in molds attached to lathes and turntables, creating parabolic and cylindrical聽lenses, that he is most recognized for. His scientific background helped develop his interest in the聽parabola: the only shape that concentrates all forms of energy to a single focal point. His pioneering use聽of plastic, polyester resin and industrial dyes and pigments reflects the technological advances that define聽the postwar period even as his work reveals the timeless inner workings of the human eye and mind.

Most recently, Fred was the subject of the solo exhibition at the Orange County Museum of Art, Costa聽Mesa, CA, October 2022-23. In May 2023, he will have a solo show at David Kordansky Gallery, New聽York, and be the subject of a solo career-spanning survey in 2024 at the Benton Museum of Art at聽Pomona College, Claremont, CA, part of the Art and Science PST 2024 program by the Getty聽Foundation.

Recent group exhibitions include Light and Space, Copenhagen Contemporary, Copenhagen (2021鈥�2022); Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power 1963鈥�1983 (2017鈥�2020, traveled to five聽venues); Space Shifters, Hayward Gallery, London (2018); Dynamo 鈥� A Century of Light and Motion in聽Art at Grand Palais, Paris (2013); Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945鈥�1980 (Getty Foundation, 2011;聽traveled to Gropius Bau, Berlin, 2012). Fred鈥檚 work is in the permanent collections of more than three聽dozen museums throughout the world.
