| Jane Evans Paintings | |

| Artist's Statement: | |
| Jane Evans exploits the versatility of Chinese techniques and materials by using them in adventurous ways, occasionally incorporating mono-printing techniques. Her work draws on Eastern and Western ideas about light, space and perspective and represents a fusion of the two aesthetic traditions.In addition to exhibiting her work, Jane undertakes commissions and gives courses, lectures, workshops and demonstrations in Britain and abroad. In 1996 she presented, by invitation, a paper on Chinese painting at Princeton at a symposium celebrating the University’s 250th anniversary. Jane has published four influential books about Chinese painting techniques. Her first book, published in 1987, defined a new market: Western painters interested in the Oriental approach to art. She has written articles and art reviews for British and foreign art journals. She has appeared on radio and TV and as BBC Radio Cambridgeshire’s art critic. With Qu Lei Lei she is Honorary Co-President of the Chinese Brush Painters Society. | |
