Contemporary abstract artist Rob Evans in the interview

"We all occupy two worlds; the one we all share and the abstract one that only we inhabit." An interesting perspective from Rob Evans. He likes to ask impossible questions and find visual answers without visual references, using intuition and scientific fact to create very unique and very cool images. Read on to find out a little more about Rob and we'll treat you to a look at a current work in progress, a recently made video and all of his work, which is of course available if you're looking to buy art online on Art Pistol.
