Evard created two versions of the work Kabuki in the same year. In both versions, he uses the same colors – red, black, and gold – but arranges them differently. Kabuki refers to the traditional Japanese dance theater of the Edo period (1603-1868); therefore, Evard incorporates these traditional Japanese colors in both paintings. In this variant, he chooses gold for the background, designing the abstract composition of squares and broad lines in red and black. The title refers to dance, and thus these rectangles – Evard depicts the two red ones rotated in front of the black one – also seem to ‘dance’ with each other. This work expresses Evard’s love for Far Eastern culture: just like his teacher Charles L’Eplattenier, Evard also began collecting oriental and Far Eastern art objects.
