“Carwyn Evans’ skill is in making work that can transcend one set of meanings, opening it out to encompass us all” — Sean Edwards

Carwyn Evans RCA graduated in 2011 with a Masters degree in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art, London. Evans works in mixed media + installation to explore issues related to his individual sense of place. He has exhibitied throughout the UK + internationally including, Fraser Gallery, Oriel Mostyn + The National Museum of Wales.

His first solo exhibition 'That morning he watched the dawn' took place at Oriel Davies Gallery, Newtown which contained work that reflects evans’ personal experiences while exploring broader social + political shifts in rural Wales. Much of his practice has focused on his ‘migration’ from an upbringing in rural Ceredigion to the Welsh capital Cardiff in order to pursue an artistic career. Reflecting on the impact of his leaving, the subsequent void left behind [both physical + cultural], and the consequence of change are all themes explored in his work. At the same time, a recent photographic series gives voice to individuals who have recently migrated and relocated to the artist’s homeland, to allow room for an alternative perspective. Evans represents these concerns using a pared down sculptural aesthetic, working with both existing and specifically produced [and often highly crafted] objects + images.
