HOMMES EN BÔITES - Jaune #3 (2021) Картина - Gregory Evans

Born in 1957 in Wimpole Park, Cambridgeshire, England, Gregory was raised in the wild and savage streets of the 1960s and 1970s in the beach communities of Santa Monica and Venice in Los Angeles, participating in the hippie, surfing, skateboarding, and punk revolutions of the time, all of which left an indelible mark on him for life . He currently lives and works in Mayenne, France. His work is owned and exhibited by private collectors in America, Holland, France, Italy, England and Scotland. The artist graduated in graphic design and found his way into the world of fine arts where he is self-taught.

In the artist's words -

I’m fascinated by life, and in particular by human behavior – for me, its all about relationship. I’m always amazed how we, as people, interact with what is around us, our response to the stimuli of the world, whether negative or positive. I tend towards storytelling, displaying the relationships we have in relation to where we are in our lives, how we’re placed in our environments. This allows me to explore both the concrete and the abstract. My research explores our stories, the myths of humanity, in a simple and direct way, without judgment, so that we can better understand ourselves and our world better.

I’m seduced by a blank canvas quickly and easily, accepting that provocation deliberately and with a fiercely planned spontaneity. I see the blank canvas as the void itself, an abyss of potential, knowing that all things and anything can appear in what is essentially just a mirror of one’s self. Some would say this emptiness, this void, is intimidating — to be staring at a nothingness that will soon be filled by the unknown is a heavy burden if taken too seriously, but for me, it is a priceless thing, its a brilliance that shines in a way that nothing else can. I thrill to the challenge of aiding those abstract concepts through into the realm of the concrete.

My work is enigmatically lyrical, cryptic, sometimes sinster and always, always playful. I push and probe without forcing things – my goal is to pay homage to our human condition in its joy and vigor, its madness and fragility, its purity and its corruption, in all its problems and all its solutions.

I use a variety of mediums and supports, although my main work is done in oil on canvas in all formats – small to medium, large to extra-large, and I always have multiples going at one time, up to a dozen or so. My colors and approach are bold and challenging, only slightly guided by laws which are much more flexible than most would consider.
