Evan Wilson's painting style is classical realism, and the grasp of the skin texture of the characters and the depiction of high-end fabrics are enough to attract your attention.
Born in Alabama in 1953, Evan Wilson entered the North Carolina School of Art as a teenager to receive traditional painting training, and continued his studies at the Maryland Institute of Art after graduation.
Before 1978, Evan Wilson never left the university until he received the sponsorship of an art club, Evan Wilson went to Italy to study, he lived in Florence for many years, copied a large number of works of previous masters, he has always been addicted to the exploration of painting, the grasp of indoor light, the use of color to the extent of perfection.
In an interview with reporters, Evan Wilson said that he had an indescribable obsession with this exotic textile, and for decades he had models dress up in this colorful silk garment, creating a dreamlike mood in the specific light of the room, and the painter was always intoxicated by his beautiful dreams.
The sun shines through the gauze curtains and casts a gentle light on the room, and the painter quietly looks at the models in gorgeous costumes in front of him, forgetting the passage of time, forgetting himself, and he wants to record all the beauty with his brush.
In addition to painting figures, Evan Wilson also painted a large number of landscapes and floral still lifes, and his depictions of porcelain and metal vessels have achieved stunning results, and the glass wine set on the table is more realistic and crystal clear than high-definition photos.
It is rare and very fortunate for a painter to meet the models he likes in his life and find the themes that inspire his creations.
