Painter, draughtsman and printmaker, born in Pontypridd, Glamorgan. He studied at Cardiff College of Art, 1949–54, teachers including David Tinker and Eric Malthouse. From 1947–58 Evans made studies in the Alexander Technique and music, attending the Clifford H Lewis School of Music, receiving the Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music diploma in 1958. After painting in the Caribbean (where he taught briefly), Germany and Italy, 1959–62, in 1962–3 Evans was at the British School at Rome. In 1975–6 he studied with Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17, Paris, other teachers including the etcher Anthony Gross. Otherwise, Evans lived by painting in the Caribbean, notably the Bahamas, the Americas and many European countries. Music remained a key influence on pictures which had man and technology as a theme and which indicated an acquaintance with Futurism, Surrealism and Cubism, using a distinctive palette.
