Brecht Evens (born 1986)[1] is a Belgian graphic novel artist and illustrator living in Paris. Several of his graphic novels have been translated into French, English, German, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Italian, Russian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Slovenian and Ukrainian and have received international acclaim. He also works for the press, fashion and art galleries and also extends his drawing work to animated films and lithography. Brecht Evens is known for his unique and bold drawing style, often described as playful, expressive and surreal. His colourful illustrations and painterly backgrounds create a dreamy and imaginative atmosphere. Evens uses dynamic lines and flowing shapes to bring his characters and landscapes to life. His figures often have abstract and distorted features, conveying a sense of movement and emotion. Overall, his work has an unconventional and experimental aesthetic that bears his own unique stamp; Evensism.
