Evelyn Hartogh is primarily a performance artist who appears on stage and in the media, and is a writer of scripts and articles, although she is also skilled at illustration and a range of fine art mediums.
She has an interest in the divide between image and identity. Her performance characters and, in particular, her performance publicity photos, are consciously contrived to differ from her current day-to-day look. By using these photos as the starting place for fine artworks she attempts to further distance the imagery from her own appearance.
Her portraits attempt to ask questions about what is the authentic self and also play with the notion of artistic license as she works to further change her appearance in painting or illustration. Her publicity photos and media appearances also play on this notion of the distortion of identity.
