Gary Evans was born in Weston-super-Mare, England and resides in Alliston, Ontario. An established Canadian painter, his paintings challenge traditional notions of perception and experience of the Canadian landscape. Evans states, “abstraction for me has always been extrapolated from the real. In using it that way I hope to talk about the phenomena of perception that we all experience.”

Evans has been the subject of several survey exhibitions, including a 25-year collection-based survey at Paul Petro Contemporary Art in 2020. Evans is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art (1989) and has been exhibiting at PPCA since 1995.
