Frederick John Eversley (born 1941) is an American sculptor who lives in SoHo, New York, and for many years, as a Venice Beach resident, was associated with the California Light and Space movement.
[5][7] He tinkered in his father's electronics basement workshop,[2] playing with his grandfather’s radio and photography equipment to emulate scientific theories.
[4] In 1967, he retired from engineering to become a full-time artist after a down-the-hill car accident almost cost him his life; he broke his femur and had to walk on crutches for more than one year.
[5] In 1969, Eversley assumed John Altoon's Venice studio that Frank Gehry converted from a laundromat into a live-work space.
Kiana and DeWain Valentine were his neighbors,[5][2] as well as other Los Angeles artists, including Larry Bell, Robert Irwin, Charles Maddox, John McCracken, and James Turrell.
[9] In DC, Eversley had shows at the American Institute of Architects headquarters, the Federal Reserve Bank, and the National Academy of Sciences.
[16] He uses basic geometric forms to play with light refraction and incorporates parabolic curves to evoke thick lens and mirror images.
