Landscape 2020 - Alan Clement Evans
Alan’s UK studio is in Congleton Cheshire, however, recently has found himself, more and more, on
one of the beautiful Canary islands. Here he has created a purpose built painting studio, one to take
advantage of the wonderful climate, where he can paint under a blue and sun filled sky.
When Tubes first featured the artists work it was within an abstract special. At that time Alan had
been creating ‘Formal’ abstractions, using squares, oblongs and other geometric shapes as a base
for his unique colour sense. The finish was always immaculate with a cold wax ‘buffed’ on the oil
paintings, this was to gain a silk like finish. Recently He has been creating work influenced by his
island retreat of Lanzarote and the whole aspect of his work has changed.
Nature once again demonstrating the power of natures influence over humans. These new works
are still ‘abstract’ in feel, but they are also quite real and exist. They are representing the shapes and
the rich colours of the island, where he now works and lives, for most of the year .
