EVANSON MEIN ELAD

He was born on the 1st of January 1979 at Mankon, in the North West Province of Cameroon. He attended Primary School at Cameroon Baptist Convention, Nkwen-Bamenda. In 1998 and 2000 he obtained his Ordinary level and Advance level certificates respectively in Government Bilingual High School (G.B.H.S.) Bamenda.
He stated very young to draw with pens and pencils. Whenever he came back from school he spent most of his time drawing and colouring. It’s long been said that arts is all it’s forms, is one of the most potent means to transform pain into beauty.
Evanson, has known that since he began devouring painting as a youngster growing up and his been finding new ways to perform that alchemical reaction ever since. His mother took him to Spee a celebrated Bamenda artist, who received him in his workshop. It was there that Evanson’s training began in 1991 at the age of 12 only.
Painting them became more and more a central element of his life. He left Spee’s workshop in 1996 with a testimonial from the artist. With the help of his family, he continued this activity at home, blending his passion for painting and that for music. He plays the guitar, an instrument which accompanies and contributes to his creativity. The contradictions of contemporary life constitute the central theme of his works. In his images appear an idealized nature seemingly harmonious and stable but which also reveals the signs of hard reality, he paints his canvas with a liberal hue of the blues and Harmonious blend, the colours are colliding in strange Redemptive hues of a sick environment. And the earth is a man inscapes or psychological Morphologies displaying a juxtaposition of images that evokes surrealist dreamscapes that symbolizes the turmoil of Mind and the chaos of nature’s creative and destructive forces.
