PAUL EVANS

Paul Evans is one of the leading Landscape Painters working today. He is widely known for his highly individual watercolours, acrylics and etchings inspired by East Anglia’s landscape and coast, Sussex Downland, the Kent Weald and Cornwall’s rugged coast and moorland. His painting explores only a few locations in detail through all times of the year to convey a deep sense of place.

He constantly experiments with techniques and materials - finding new ways to reflect the changing light and seasons in his work. Paul studied illustration and printmaking for four years between 1972 and 1976 at Eastbourne College of Art and Design, and has been fortunate to make his living solely from his painting since graduating.

He started to show his work at The Ralph Lewis Gallery in Brighton’s Lanes and immediately started to sell everything that he could paint. Since 1976 Paul has had some 50 solo Exhibitions and numerous group shows, usually attended by large numbers of collectors, quite often selling out within hours of the opening. He recently won joint second prize in the Daily Mail “Not the Turner Prize” competition out of 10,000 entries, followed by an exhibition of winning paintings at the Mall Galleries, London. Some 400 images have been used for greetings cards, calendars and Limited Edition Prints with several large publishers including Rosenstiel’s, Kingsmead Publications, Royle Publications, Royal Doulton and Georgian House.

Work has been bought by collectors and buyers worldwide - America, Japan, Australia and
Europe - as well as a large and loyal following closer to home.
