Jude Evans, an artist based in Worthing, draws inspiration from the coastal landscape of her hometown.
- Coastal Inspiration:
- Jude feels at home by the sea and enjoys the charm of seaside towns. The natural rhythms and forces of nature on the beach captivate her.
- She explores the tension between order and chaos, organic forms, and straight lines. Her creative process begins with observation, photography, and sketchbook studies.
- Working primarily in acrylics on canvas, Jude builds up layers of paint using various brushes and tools. She adds graphic marks in pencil or crayon to create her expressive pieces.
- Background and Artistic Development:
- Jude studied art history for her degree and completed a foundation year at Chelsea College of Art.
- After living in London for many years and working at the National Gallery and the Art Fund, she returned to Worthing in 2015 to focus on her art practice.
- As a member of the Adur Art Collective, Jude exhibited at the Skyway Gallery in Shoreham-by-Sea and participated in Worthing Artists Open Houses.
- Themes and Subjects:
- Her contemporary art reflects what she sees around her: beaches on the Sussex coast, urban scenes, architecture, flowers, and gardens.
- Jude’s work captures the essence of her coastal surroundings, evoking mood and change through her expressive brushstrokes.
