Artist Bio:
Paul Evans (1931-1987) was an American furniture designer and sculptor known for his innovative and unconventional approach to metalwork. He gained prominence during the mid-20th century with his unique creations that blurred the lines between furniture and sculpture. Evans primarily worked with metal, combining techniques such as welding, brazing, and acid etching to create intricate and textured surfaces on his furniture pieces.
Evans' work is characterized by bold forms, geometric patterns, and a mix of materials such as metal, wood, and glass. His designs often feature a raw and industrial aesthetic, reflecting the influence of the Brutalist and Mid-Century Modern movements. Evans' creations have been highly sought after by collectors and are included in the collections of major museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. His legacy continues to inspire contemporary furniture designers and artists with his boundary-pushing approach to materiality and form.
