Evie Mae Jacobs (b. 1995) is a Fine Artist based in London. She obtained an Art Foundation diploma at Camberwell College of Arts, UAL in 2014 and a BA in Fine Art from Newcastle University in 2018. She now works primarily in painting and drawing from her studio in Camden, North London.
Having spent three years studying old master techniques, her process has deep roots in the tradition and history of oil painting. She picks small moments in life, that are both savoured and celebrated by the act of painting them. With a vivid colour palette and soft brushwork her compositions are often characterised by a sense of stillness and nostalgia.
By leaning into materiality, Evie’s paintings are an immersive interaction between texture, sensation and human connection.
She presents an observational stance at intimacy and aloneness, with figures that may be sharing a tender moment or are by themselves, lost in thought. With a practice that is driven by pleasure and contemplation, Evie’s paintings are ultimately are a way of treasuring moments of life shared or experienced, that so often go by unnoticed.
Since graduating, Evie has exhibited at major London Art Fairs, New Bond Street, Mayfair with the show ‘Soft Spaces’, and at Cromwell Place with The Tagli Gallery. To see Evie’s available work please contact her directly.
