Welsh conceptual artist, sculptor and film-maker born in Llanelli in 1958, currently living and working in London, England.
Although Wyn Evans moved to sculpture and installation in the early 1990s, the influence of film remained strong on his work. Marked by a strong interest in language and communication, the artist often uses in his works found or remembered texts from film, philosophy or literature combined with a clean aesthetic.
