"There's something special about creating a public work; rarely can a painter say their work helps bring a community together. I'm lucky - I am commissioned to create murals steeped in folklore that can acheive just that". - Evan Barlow
Evan loves creating murals that are site specific, reflecting or interacting with their surroundings. His murals are packed with detail, thoroughly researched and well-received by communities. Recurring themes in his work include busy street scenes, beautiful sunsets, subtle optical illusions, movement, local landmarks, historical moments, wildlife and the occasional touch of surrealism.
These Murals not only look good but serve as a powerful promotion of values and culture, helping preserve and celebrate local customs and legends. they are a unique form of visual communication that can convey complex messages and emotions. They also foster community engagement and pride, often involving locals in the creative process
