Evangela Lines-Morison

Evangela Lines-Morison (b. 1999, Canberra) is an artist based in Naarm/Melbourne. She graduated from VCA with a BFA in 2021. Evangela’s painting practice draws inspiration from history, religion, gardening and iconography. She uses found imagery to interrogate the representation of past events through photographic archives. Melding realism with kitsch aesthetics, her intimate paintings explore the indistinct boundaries between hobbies, fandom and obsession, creating an ambiguous narrative that exists in between the banal and the absurd. Evangela has been involved with curating the Cathedral Cabinet program. Her own recent shows include Manual Dexterity (2023) at TCB, Melbourne and Common Grace (2022) at Conners Conners, Melbourne.
