About John Evans

John Evans paints mainly in oils, working from a deliberately confined palette of around eighteen colours. His other work includes pencil and charcoal drawings, occasional watercolours and monoprints.

His subjects tend to be figurative one-offs, but recurring themes weave through the practice — sport, places of worship, birds, the Alps, and individuals "up against it."

At Eye Feast, Regent's Park Gallery is showing John's oil on wood panel Oyster (2018) — a still-life he describes as "an ever-present and available food of historical importance that also happens to be quite beautiful. Enjoy."
