Elinor Evans

Place of birth Criccieth, North Wales
Country of residence United Kingdom

Human and animal interaction is never innocent in Evans’ expressive oil paintings. Seemingly romantic and heroic in style and narrative, they unveil the intimacy and barbarism of confrontation between man and beast.Her ‘collaborations’ with animals which are filmed and used as source material are reminiscent of Beuys’ ‘dialogues’; and embody her interest in exploring the animal/human divide.

She is based in London and studied at the Royal College of Art. I
In 2004 she won the Amlin Award (1st Prize); and the Stanley Spencer Award.
