Tony is a friend, I believe a truly wonderful, talented artist. Born and raised in Liverpool, Tony now enjoys the beautiful Cheshire countryside surrounding his home in Kingsley. After working in Liverpool for The Prudential for over 30 years he turned to his long suppressed passion for art. At age 55 he attended Liverpool City College where he achieved GCSE and A Levels and subsequently emerged from Wirral Metropolitan College aged 58 with a B.A. Honours Degree in Fine Art.
Tony specialises in animals in action using mainly copper and bronze and the work is a result of hours of intense concentration and physical effort. His portrayals of nature capture the spirit and to the splendour of a whole menagerie of animals ranging from the simplicity of a frog to the magnificence of a life size Bengal tiger.
Below are some of Tony's sculptures. Please visit his website to see more of his extraordinary work, including his lifesize pieces, http://www.tonyevanssculptures.co.uk/.
