Beyond The Canvas Creations

Screenshot 2026-01-15 at 1.16_edited.jpg

I'm a self-taught mixed media artist and digital designer based in downtown Toronto. 

​

Over the past 5 years, I have developed a love for creating immersive, eye-catching, and other-worldly pieces using whatever materials I can.

Hi,  I'm Evan Rees

Featured Artworks

My Tears Dry On Their Own

Spray Paint on 20" x 24" canvas 

​

This piece was inspired by Amy Winehouse, one of the most moving, haunting, and beautiful souls in the creative industry. Amy always had a whimsical, mysterious, and playful element to her songs and her personality that I wanted to capture in this piece.

​

I wanted to highlight those parts of herself that made her such a force of nature, while recognizing the haunting, painful, and sorrowful elements of being a creative.

Molten Jewels

Mixed Media on 2 ' x 4 ' canvas 

​

Lava has always captivated me, with its mesmerizing, flowing state, the geological wonders it creates and the beauty in its force. 

​

I used a variety of different recycled fabric soaked in plaster and texture paste to create the rock-like effect, and placed a light behind the piece to shine through the resin and glow like lava, as well as incorporating a light-strip into the folds of the plaster-cloth.

Mother Nature

Mixed  Media on 20" x 30" canvas

​

Nature has been a common theme in my work, as I marvel at the wonders of this world. To conceptualize it, I wanted to use Mother Nature as inspiration. A protective, powerful, fierce force, but caring, beautiful, and harmonious.

 

Through the use of foam to build out a torso, mannequin arms, clay, and resin, her shape came together over the course of about 3 months. I wanted to ground the sculpture on canvas to have it immersive and coming out towards the observer.

Fire and Ice

Mixed Media on 2' x' 4' Canvas 

​

Contrast has always been something inevitable in life, and that has always intrigued me. Even in my art, I strive to use texture and colours and materials to create contrast and bring the piece to the next level.

 

I wanted to lean into this as a theme, using fire and ice as the main subjects. The ebb and flow of opposing forces, both vital, but locked in an endless, passionate, dancing fight.
