ABOUT JASON EVANS:
This is a biography of the Welsh photographer Jason Evans, written in April 2021 when he was 52 years old. There is a likelihood that it will differ from previous and future biographies. It is not useful to try and pin his work down to any one genre or aesthetic, as he has experienced time in the editorial, art and music industries alongside periods where his focuses were education, facilitation or curation.
He has a keen eye for colour but is equally comfortable working in monochrome. His works on the page are complimented by long term online presences. His photographic exhibits usually feature sculptural elements. He is a restless soul, easily distracted by a willingness to learn from the people and places he finds along the way and if we had to use one adjective to describe Evans it would have to be curious.
