Shop the Javi Collection!
The Javi Collection is their first capsule with Evoke Limited, the gallery's ongoing series of artist and designer collaborations.
The collection includes three limited prints and a limited shirt, each piece reflecting the same care and craft that runs through everything Javi makes.
A portion of proceeds from La Dama, one of the three prints, will directly benefit the Illinois Immigrant Coalition, an organization dedicated to advancing the rights and wellbeing of immigrant communities across the state.
Evoke Represented Artists
The Artists We Stand Behind
Evoke represents and manages a focused roster of Chicago Artists.
We're dedicated to the development and career of our Artists, not just on the walls, but out in the world as well. From placing paintings with collectors and institutions, developing exhibitions, these are the two artists at the center of that commitment.
October Sharify
Brooke Raven
Painter
October Sharify is a 26-year-old oil painter based in Chicago, Illinois. Their longtime interest in history and theology blends in their work with feminine aesthetics and spiritual imagery. October has a developmental disability and believes that this is both a detriment to their work and integral to their process.
Painter
Brooke Raven is a central Illinois native, Chicago-based painter. Raven carries a residual fascination with small town social dynamics from her formative years into adulthood. The small towns of the rural midwest, while they have their fleeting moments of charm and appeal, also house a sour perpetual stew of conservative values, chronic gossipers, and substance abuse.
Promise(d) Magazine Submission Form
Promise(d) extends beyond the gallery walls with a companion zine! We're giving space for written work that sits alongside the exhibition's visual dialogue. We're looking for writers whose words reckon with the myths we've inherited, the gaps between what was imagined and what exists, and the futures still worth naming. The publication unfolds in three movements: what was promised? What is a promise? And what can we promise?
