Melvyn Evans
Melvyn's highly individual linocuts explore the influence of man on the rugged coastal landscape of Britain. His unmistakable sculptural imagery and restricted palette depict scarred fissured rock faces, deep inlets, isolated stone cottages and sparse wind bowed vegetation. Distant figures are glimpsed aboard seagoing working vessels.
Melvyn's distinctive graphic style has it's roots in the works of the great flowering of talented mid century artists, among them Nash, Bawden and Ravilious. Trained as an illustrator he became a full time artist exhibiting at galleries throughout the U.K. including the Royal College, Somerset House and the Royal Academy.
