Oliver Evans is a gallery director, publisher and artist with two decades of experience organising exhibitions and developing artists’ careers. He is currently a Senior Director and Partner at London-based gallery Maureen Paley, and a postgraduate visiting tutor at Goldsmiths College.

He also sits on the boards of three NPOs, supporting their strategic direction and governance: DACS, which protects artists’ rights and royalties; The Showroom, a socially engaged gallery in Marylebone, London; and Arts Collective, Northampton, an institution centring artistic practice in regional cultural life.

He completed a BA in Fine Art Textiles at Goldsmiths College and an MA in Fine Art at the Slade School of Art. In 2023, he co-founded an experimental publishing project called ‘lo’, whose books are held in the collections of CCS Bard, New York, Tate and V&A, London.

As an artist, he works intuitively with 35mm film, utilising both documentary and formal approaches to consider specific sites and the tactics of display. His imagery describes architectural arrangements and tended and natural landscapes, using existing light with minimal intervention. Informed by the structures of poetry and notation, he phrases isolated images into non-linear sequences.
