Phoebe Evans

Phoebe Evans is a painter living and working in London. Her practise utilises magic realism to draw on the process of the sublime and the liminal. Harmonizing colour and exploring perspective, the environments become a fantasy of reality. The attention to atmosphere and tonality, however, is what pushes these paintings away from the known and into an abstract space. The beguiling hues and soft brushwork shifts the work to the concept of the limitlessness and the endless possibility of dreaming minds.

Saturated monochromes are used to reimagine vivid dreamscapes. These invite the audience to view the fragments of space and time through a tinted lens. Evans’ practise is a vessel for translating the subconscious space, taking an uncertain and intangible place into an array of surrealist rooms. Portals are created through doors and windows into parallels that are as complex as the reality we share. They are familiar yet distant, allowing you to place and lose yourself within the work. Tone and light enrich the atmosphere, to become a translation of static moments and fragmentations of space in the artists life.
