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 London; and Arts Collective, a Northampton-based institution.

Oliver completed a BA in Fine Art Textiles at Goldsmiths College and an MA in Fine Art at the Slade School of Art, UCL. In 2022, 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 uses 35mm film to consider display tactics at specific sites, describing architectural arrangements and altered landscapes while using existing light with minimal intervention. The imagery is then phrased into non-linear sequences informed by the structures of poetry and notation.
