a glass of wine, and a vivid red bowl holding two pears, all set against a vibrant red tabletop. Behind them, two ladder‑back chairs create a subtle architectural rhythm that enhances the painting’s sense of balance and depth.

Evans’ confident brushwork and layered paint give the piece a tactile, sculptural quality, while the interplay of dark and bright tones creates a dramatic visual impact.

Evans brings a fresh, modern energy to the traditional still‑life genre. Black Jug combines everyday objects with a dynamic colour field, creating a piece that feels both familiar and strikingly contemporary. The rich reds and deep blacks make it a commanding focal point, perfect for collectors who appreciate expressive mark‑making and confident design.
