(b. 1994 Cape Town, South Africa ) Luca Evans is a Cape Town-based artist who works with wood and text. In 2018 they completed a BA Honours in Linguistics at the University of Cape Town. After six years studying and working with language, they made a shift towards tactile art-making, completing a BA in Contemporary Art at the Cape Town Creative Academy in 2022. In 2022 they co-founded Under Projects, an artist-run experimental project space where they work as a curator and programmer. They also lecture part-time in Conceptual and Curatorial practice.

They currently work from a studio in Paarden Eiland, where they utilise a hit-and-miss experimental approach to carpentry and marquetry. Their pop-ish work plays with ideas around language, failure, mishap and humour. Since graduating in 2022, they have participated in a number of group exhibitions locally and internationally, as well as a Cubicle show at Everard Read Cape Town in January 2024. This is their first solo exhibition with the gallery.
