David Evans – VIEW WORK – Sold
David Evans is a quirky, eccentric modern Northern British artist who delights in the occurrences of his creative universe with a wonderfully keen sense of youthful pleasure.
His exuberantly confident oils and watercolors, as well as his bright, high-key colors, are crisply new, radically personal, and unique. His intricate drawings reveal a wealth of creativity, technical mastery, and a distinct visual language mixed with a wicked sense of humor.
Evans has remained remarkably untouched by changing creative styles. His is a personal, intimate art, developed through decades of experimentation with drawing and color at his Macclesfield, Cheshire, studio.
His daring methods are outlandish and chimerical. Underneath the playful imagery, there is a hardness – imagery that speaks of careful judgment and, above all, a truly genuine perspective.
David Evans is a fully certified art instructor with a BA Hons degree in Painting and Printmaking. In 1979, he was inducted into the National Society of Painters, Printmakers, and Sculptors.
He has four books that he has written and/or drawn.
Many individual and commercial collections in the UK, Ireland, Europe, Canada, and the United States own works by David Evans.
