This portrait was shot on black and white film using an Ebony 5x4” large format camera in Jake Wood-Evans’ studio in Sussex. Boll hand-printed a series of silver gelatine fibre prints which were then left on the floor of Wood-Evans’ studio for several months. They collected paint marks, drips, and textures from the artist at work. This collaborative portrait explore aspects of time as it develops its own history of marks.

In an age dominated by screens and pixelated image, Jake Wood-Evans’ work feels like a welcome antidote. Drawing on the legacies of Old Masters, his intention is to capture the essence of these historic works without replicating them, depicting familiar, yet obscured subject matter.

Creating ethereal images that are both unsettling and beautiful, Wood-Evans’ powerful use of light emerges from a loose and instinctive application of paint. His oil paintings shimmer with luminous and intense layers of colour as bold marks, dripping oils and scored surfaces sit in company with fine, delicate detail. The artist, born in 1980, lives and works near Lewes, East Sussex.
