Gold Medal for Fine Art

Carwyn Evans, originally from Newcastle Emlyn, is a Cardiff-based artist working in installation, sculpture, photography and mixed media. His practice explores personal and cultural senses of place, examining the pressures facing rural Wales, from an ageing farming population and agricultural crisis to the erosion of language, community and regional identity. Carwyn graduated from the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff in 2001 and completed an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art in 2011. He has received multiple awards at the National Eisteddfod, including the Ivor Davies Award in 2003 and 2007, and the Gold Medal for Fine Art in 2012.

His installation Unlliw has been acquired by the National Museum Wales.

‘Of shit and sunshine’

Most of my practice tends to explore issues relating to my individual sense of place, through an extension and re-interpretation of my cultural experience. I believe there is an interesting charge in the works between the potential for material to be formed and the echo/memory of what was formed. I also want it to speak of attraction and repulsion; of desire and disgust; of shit and sunshine. I ultimately want the work to have a sense of tension with moments that are dense and others that are light – making the viewer think or feel, rather than read.
