James Evans is a ceramic artist based in London. Evans creates biomorphic ceramic sculptures made up of a collision of qualities, ones not usually encountered within a single form.
Evans often creates sculptures by employing ceramic and metallic materials, and the clay is fired and coated by a smooth crust of gleaming gold, tarnished copper, and rusted iron. The artworks are a peculiar amalgamation of human flesh, geological specimens which seem ostensibly soft but yet hard.
Evans has taken part in numerous group shows, including; Award at Potteries Museum & Art Gallery (2011), Stoke-on-Trent; Atlantic Crossings at the Barbican Art Gallery (1998), Ripe at the Crafts Council (2000), and COLLECT (2003, 2004 and 2006). Solo exhibitions include; Abugation, Marsden Woo Project Space (2012); Galerie Sandra Buergel (2007); Plaisantin at Cosa Gallery, London (2005) and Hypoplastic at Midlands Art Centre, Birmingham (2002). In 2001, he was a finalist for the Jerwood Applied Arts Prize, and in 2004, and an Arts Foundation Fellowship. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London holds a collection of his work.
