Statement

Currently Leverhulme Trust Artist in Residence within Cardiff University School of History and Archaeology, Paul Evans is a contemporary artist whose practice encompasses a number of different styles of drawing and painting. He employs a range of creative strategies including close collaboration with academics, creative writers and designers. Both personal and collaborative practices are used to explore aspects of our physical and emotional relationship with nature; a complex response to a complex field of interactions. Themes that have been developed in his practice so far include: painterly responses to our embodied existence as biological organisms; our aesthetic response to the natural world through contemporary forms of romantic vision and, in response to the circumstances surrounding our treatment of the planet, works that challenge the anthropocentric world view and address the anxieties that we face as potential agents of environmental harm.
