Alex Evans is a London-based photographer, cinematographer, illustrator and motion director who has spent over a decade creating visual work for some of the most respected names in music. Through his studio Flower Up, founded in 2017, he has directed and shot for artists including Orla Gartland, Jax Jones, Eels, Enter Shikari, Placebo, Spiritualized, Raleigh Ritchie and The Cribs, and worked with labels including Island Records, Capitol Records, EMI, Bella Union, Heavenly Records and [PIAS].
His printmaking is something different — a personal practice running alongside the commercial work, driven by everyday observation and memory rather than a brief. Each screen print begins as a direct observation: something seen on the street, in a room, in passing. That initial image is then rebuilt layer by layer, each colour screen a physically repainted positive from the original artwork, accumulating into something that holds the spirit of what was seen while becoming its own thing. The result is closer to a memory of the original than a record of it — vivid, textural, and entirely his own.
