Jason Evans (photographer)

Jason Evans (born 1968) is a Welsh photographer and lecturer on photography. His best known work is Strictly, a series of portraits of young black men dressed as "country gents" made in collaboration with stylist Simon Foxton, and which were acquired for the permanent collection of the Tate Gallery, in 2004.[1]

Life and work edit

Jason Evans was born in Holyhead, Wales, in 1968. He was a senior lecturer on the Photography for Fashion and Advertising degree course at Newport School of Art, Media and Design, South Wales[2] and currently lectures in photography at University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, England.[3] Evans is based in Thanet, England.[4]

Characterizing his photo-series Strictly, Evans said: "Strictly was a weird mixture of macho clothes and quite effeminate clothes. Sportswear-based but classical English things, turned around. The syntax of clothes was completely upside down, and then, worn by black people, it was a new vision of Britain. We were trying to break down stereotypes."[5] The series first appeared in the British fashion monthly i-D in 1991.[6]

In 2013, he was artist-in-residence at the Art Gallery of Ontario.[7]
