Gregory Evans

Gregory Evans is an artist based in the Mayenne region of France. He was born in the UK and raised in Los Angeles before settling in France 15 years ago, and has since exhibited in both California and France. His influences are wide, ranging from Goya, Cézanne, Schiele, the late Renaissance Italian mannerists, through to the hippie, punk, surfing and skateboarding scenes he participated in while living in the US. 

He says: “Fascinated by life, and in particular by human behaviour, my research explores our stories – the myths of humanity – in a simple, direct way without judgment, so that we can better understand both ourselves and our world. In the studio, the blank canvas is an abyss of potential, all things and anything can appear in what is essentially just a mirror of one’s self.”
