Ben Evans’s large-scale paintings captivate with their dramatic use of flat colors and extreme lighting, creating bold and striking visual narratives. Rooted in his interest in anti-natalism, Evans challenges societal norms by portraying "imagined" figures—characters born entirely from his imagination and symbolically unconsenting subjects. His work explores themes of glamorous isolation and religious iconography, blending these motifs into compositions that are as thought-provoking as they are visually arresting. Evans describes himself as a “conductor of imagery,” orchestrating elements that challenge perceptions and invite deeper reflection. The stark contrasts and symbolic gestures in his work evoke a powerful sense of detachment while drawing viewers into his constructed worlds. This collection showcases Evans's ability to blend concept and aesthetics, making each piece a striking commentary on existence and the human condition.
