Bio & Statement
Evans Thorne was born and grew up in Trinidad West Indies, he came to the USA to study art. He attended Northern Virginia Community College in Virginia and Howard University in Washington, D.C. and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BFA in Painting. He is influenced by African Art, the style and designs of Indian Art, Japanese paintings, middle eastern designs and Impressionist European Art. His work is in private collections in both Trinidad and the USA.
The culture of Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean is my main subject. Color ties everything together. My art is about the conditions of people in everyday life. The emphasis is on the colors, designs and placement of figures to suggest movement.
