Paul Evans, one of our most collected artists, is currently featured at Gallery Seventeen with a selection of limitededition prints, which are all available to view at the gallery. A limited edition is created when the number of prints reproduced is limited to a finite number by both the artist and the publisher to create a rarity for the benefit of the collector.
One of the leading landscape painters working today, Paul is widely known for his highly individual watercolours, acrylics and etchings inspired by East Anglia’ s landscape and coast, Sussex Downland, the Kent Weald and Cornwall’ s rugged coast and moorland. His painting explores only a few locations in detail through all times of the year to convey a deep sense of place. He constantly experiments with techniques and materials- finding new ways to reflect the changing light and seasons in his work.
Having studied illustration and printmaking for four years between 1972 and 1976 at Eastbourne College of Art and Design, Paul has been fortunate to make his living solely from his painting since graduating.
He started to show his work at the Ralph Lewis Gallery in Brighton’ s Lanes, and immediately started to sell everything that he could paint.
Since 1976, Paul has had some 80 solo exhibitions and numerous group shows, usually attended by large numbers of collectors, quite often selling out within hours of the opening, and his work has been bought by collectors and buyers worldwide- in America, Japan, Australia and Europe- as well as by a large and loyal following closer to home.
Gallery Seventeen invites you to browse work of extraordinary calibre, create and connect in a truly inspiring environment.
See you soon!
