A Book of Batik is the compelling tale of two artists who have given their entire adult lives to the art of batik. It is a record of their passion and dedication, their creative processes, and their prodigious output.
Jonathan Evans has lived and worked in the UK, Spain, the USA, and inAsia and has shown his batik paintings all over the world.
Beth Evans has worked and taught all over the world and has taken her art into areas never before explored in this difficult medium.
Together they have worked to expose the batik process to a global public, to legitimize and popularize a sometimes neglected ancient art medium, and to push their own boundaries and limitations.
A Book of Batik is a record of their shared love of batik and their struggle to take the medium into new territories through new techniques. It is a no-holds barred story of two artists, their art, and the long, strange journey they have taken in search of personal happiness and artistic satisfaction. It is a mission that has taken them all over the world, and their work always reflects this adventure.
A Book of Batik is lavishly illustrated with full colour photographs of the work of Beth and Jonathan Evans, with the story behind every painting. It is an art book with a real difference and a record and testimony of two lives well lived.
