Natasha Evans, B.1978, Mutare, Zimbabwe, raised and living in Lusaka, Zambia. She has a BA in Illustration from The Arts Institute At Bournemouth, UK. Natasha has taken part in multiple group exhibitions and last year November 2024 she showed a collection of work in her fifth solo exhibition titled ‘Finding A Softness’. Internationally Natasha has presented works at The Revelation Biennial at the Grand Palais in Paris and is showing works at Africa Basel contemporary art fair in Switzerland during Basel week, June 2025. Her works evolve from abstract concepts grasped from lived experiences, inspired by poetry, nature and the human condition. Her ideas find form in expressive sketchbook drawings, writings, mark making and palette. Conversations and connections come into existence between these myriad components which are layered into finished artworks. Working primarily in mixed media she is influenced by the abstract and figurative movements and uses processes of collage with layers of textile, paper, canvas, and text and photography often are integrated into her paintings, forms and installations. Her assemblage is fragmented to deep greens and earth tones to represent the earth around Zambia, where she confronts a place of belonging, treasure, value and vulnerability. She extracts resources from her physical, social and cultural environment, interested in the interplay of the shared human experience within these.
