This portrait was shot on black and white film using a Hasselblad medium format camera. The background of antique pigment bottles was constructed by Evans in his Brighton studio. Boll produced the silver gelatine fibre print in a darkroom which was then hand-coloured by Evans, who also applied 21,915 “strikes” in pencil. Each strike representing a day of his life.

Stig Evans (b.1964) is a painter and public artist. He is based in Brighton, UK. Evans' work investigates concepts of visibility and perception. He uses colour to explore our visual acuity, how we perceive it, respond to it, represent it, and by its historical, chemical and physical and immaterial nature. He paints with an airbrush, building up many layers of sprayed colour creating chromatic colour experiences where boundaries, borders and chroma subtly move and shift in front of the eye.
