David Evans

British

About the artist:

David Evans is a quirky, idiosyncratic contemporary British artist with a delightfully sharp sense of childlike joy in the happenings of his creative world.

His brilliant, high-key colours and exuberantly assured oils and watercolours are crisply fresh, radically personal and utterly original. His detailed drawings speak of prodigious imagination, masterly technical ability and a unique visual language laced with a wicked humour.

Evans has been singularly unaffected by passing artistic trends. His is a personal, intimate art - an art honed from decades of experimental drawing and colour work in his art studio in Macclesfield, Cheshire.

His bold techniques are certainly eccentric and chimerical. If you dig deeper there is a toughness underneath the whimsical imagery - an imagery that speaks of considered judgement and above all - a uniquely authentic vision. - BritishArtists.com - January 2016

My artistic driving force is my continued obsession with four motifs - people, bicycles, buildings and landscape. I sometimes interpret these singly or coalesced within one work.

The underlining inspiration for a good deal of my work comes from re-working and distorting quite traditional themes from art, literature, poetry and music. I like to jump the margins between illustration and fine art.

Sifting recently through my work, observations, ideas and responses, I think it’s fair to say that I see life, art and my surroundings in a somewhat quirky and whimsical visual way…

David Evans has a BA Hons degree in Painting and Printmaking and is a fully qualified art teacher. He was elected member of The National Society of Painters, Printmakers and Sculptors in 1979.

He has written and/or illustrated four books.

David Evans works are in many private and commercial collections in the UK, Ireland, Europe, Canada and USA.
