Catrin Llwyd Evans
“Catrin Llwyd Evans’ small scale paintings, often oils + watercolours, investigates + challenges our sense of place + belonging.”
Working predominantly on a smaller scale, Catrin Llwyd’s paintings, often oils and watercolour and gouache on paper, are constructed from drawings from life, imagination and found imagery. Through these encounters, various fragments are rearranged to become plausible places and happenings allowing for potential narratives to occur. Despite the obvious absence of people within the work, there are reminders of the human presence. Llwyd Evans approaches her process of painting as an investigative practice where colour has remained a constant importance and she plays with the idea that painting becomes a form of storytelling.
Llwyd Evans (b.1988) originally from Mid-Wales, was awarded the Peter Prendegast drawing prize in her foundation year at Coleg Menai in 2008, before gaining a Fine Art degree from the University of Wales Institute Cardiff in 2010. She has exhibited in numerous exhibitions including Y Lle Celf, 2019; Saatchi gallery, Prints and Original gallery, 2018; Roger Cecil and 4 Contemporary Painters, TEN x Oriel Myrddin, 2018; Beep painting prize 2018; Roath Open, g39, 2018; London Art Fair, 2017; Nova, Royal Cambrian Academy, Aberystwyth Art Centre & Arcade Cardiff, 2017; Mission Gallery Swanea, 2016; Manchester Contemporary Art Fair, 2016.
