Carwyn Evans

Carwyn Evans, originally from Carmarthen, 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 llanguage, 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 2011.

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