EP 7 Evelyn Jean : Part 1: Human Behaviour, Life & Art Played Out Like A Film Script.

Today, on the Art Seeker Stories podcast 7th Episode  I’m delighted to chat with artist Evelyn Jean, a visual artist whose career began after 12 years in the music industry, where he became increasingly frustrated by the limits of the medium and began practicing visual art as a method for a new way of performance and true expression of his real feelings.​

In doing this Evelyn seeks to create art that speaks to the soul and to attract a different kind of audience to his work.​

His work covers many mediums including, painting; filmmaking; literature; music;  performance, and installation.​

Of his work  He says

"I am distracted by human behaviour and how we really feel about ourselves underneath the veil. 

I see life and art being played out like a film script with more control over it than we realise. The ability to rewrite every scene.

 I met Evelyn briefly in early 2020 just before our first Lockdown at a show we were both exhibiting in ironically called Fake News, and virtually more recently with The Shape of the New. 

​ Evelyn’s 3 Artworks for company on Art Seeker Island are :
( One by a woman another of cultural significance and a free choice)

The Juniper Tree by Joan Jonas

Street Scene Chicago Archibald Motley

Atlantic Civilization by Andre Fougeron

 Once again I’m cutting this episode in half, putting it out as a part 1 & 2. Wow, We had such great fun and our imaginations ran wild, if not a little bit crazy. This is a real journey weaving in and out of time, into a metropolis melting pot of culture, in and out of reality and the imaginary. 

Please come back next week where we continue with Evie’s art at the Royal Acadamy and Lufi’s book club.
