‘this time during lockdown has been strange, yet very familiar - the process of painting always has an element of loneliness. i’ve evolved and had the opportunity to fully appreciate the extra time; time to think and to paint. the weeks have flown by, and the experience of walking the deserted streets of the city has had a profound effect’ - catrin llwyd evans

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
