About The Artwork

“At night, the crowd becomes like an ocean, and the pyramid stage is the far-away homing beacon, glowing, calling us. Flags drift like buoys on the waves. The sky above is so clear - I never paint a clear sky, preferring clouds, but above the tumult below, it seems to quietly ache. Or perhaps that was just my feet.” Area: Pyramid Stage The artist I most attribute this piece to is Arctic Monkeys. In her first works directly inspired by and made during actual events, these Glastonbury Paintings are a series of seven works made by Evie on-site and finished shortly after Glastonbury festival 2023. On the series, Evie said: “These are the first works I’ve made since I had my daughter 2021 - the first time I’ve both been able to paint and felt moved to do so. The paintings are a celebration of the incredible worlds created at Glastonbury by the musicians, actors, artists, makers, staff and festival goers. I thought would try to capture the imaginary worlds that were built for me when I was there; the dark oceans of the crowds at night swaying beneath the far-away light-house lights of the pyramid stage; the cavernous west holts stage aglow with firelight from within; the froth of thousands of tents bubbling beneath the hot sun. Moreover it’s the music; I have tried to imbue within each piece a distinct mood or moment evoked by the music I heard there. These worlds throb and roar; they climb and cling and soar; they drift and dissipate. The music moved me, like everyone else, and still moves me now, and I hope these paintings have kept alive that movement.” This series features abstracted representations of places and sets that Evie witnessed attending Glastonbury festival for the first time. Evie applies her distinct emotional blend of colour and indexical brushwork to evoke memories of these moments. Each work is 40 x 50cm - with a varnished finish, so as to preserve the vibrancy that is a hallmark of Evie’s raw watercolour pieces.

Artist's Statement: Evie is a painter engaged with contemporary concerns of 'scape' - terrestrial and galactic - and the increasing comprehension of the cosmos, combining indexical and erasive brushwork to produce ambiguous, sensual works that evoke the mystery of earth and unknowable places. The works hark back to romantic and expressive painting whilst leaning forward into the advancements of global mapping and space exploration.
