This work is signed by the artist.

Evans’s work is steeped in references to British Modernism of the 1950s, recalling the likes of Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and Keith Vaughan, whilst bringing a contemporary illustrative twist to works that capture the power of place within British landscapes. Working between print, painting, and drawing, Melvyn Evans seeks to capture a human relationship with the varied landscapes of the British Isles, featuring locations around North Yorkshire and Lancashire, as well as prehistoric sites such as Doggerland.

Initially trained as a marine engineer – spending time working on submarines – Melvyn Evans studied illustration at Exeter College of Art and Design and Goldsmiths, London. He then took up drawing classes at the Royal College of Art. He became a professional artist, printmaker and illustrator in 1992. His work has been widely exhibited throughout the UK, including at the Royal Academy, the Royal College of Art and Somerset House.
