Artist Biography
Evelyn Gibbs: A Pioneer of Midlands Mural Art and Dedicated Educator
Evelyn Gibbs (5 May 1905 – 27 February 1991) was an English artist and teacher whose legacy extends beyond her captivating paintings—primarily murals celebrating the spirit of Nottinghamshire during World War II—to encompass a profound commitment to fostering artistic talent in young people. Born in Liverpool, Gibbs pursued formal art training at the Liverpool School of Art and subsequently excelled at the Royal College of Art, earning a prestigious Prix de Rome scholarship for engraving in 1929, which propelled her into Italy’s artistic milieu for two formative years. This experience instilled within her an appreciation for Impressionistic techniques and influenced her later stylistic choices. Supporting herself through teaching roles—particularly at Goldsmiths College where she lectured on art education—Gibbs skillfully blended her creative passions with pedagogical responsibility. Recognizing the importance of nurturing creativity in children, she established the Midlands Group of Artists in 1943, bringing together a collective of talented students and transforming an empty building into a vibrant gallery space. This initiative wasn’t merely about showcasing artwork; it represented a deliberate effort to cultivate artistic appreciation and inspire future generations. The group undertook ambitious mural projects at five locations across Nottinghamshire, documenting the region's resilience during wartime—a testament to Gibbs’ vision for art as a tool of social engagement. Sadly, only two murals survived the ravages of time until their remarkable rediscovery in 2013 during renovations at St. Martin’s Church in Bilborough. Their restoration promises to illuminate Gibbs’ artistic contribution and offer invaluable insight into the cultural landscape of post-war Britain. Gibbs' artistic output included commissions for the Women’s Voluntary Services (WVS), resulting in “Women’s Voluntary Services Clothing Exchange” (1943)—a poignant depiction capturing the essence of wartime camaraderie and utilizing expressive brushstrokes characteristic of her distinctive style. Her dedication to art education continued until her stroke in 2000, cementing her role as a champion for artistic development. Aberystwyth University acquired her extensive printmaking collection—approximately 98 artworks—establishing a foundation for scholarly research and ensuring that Gibbs’ oeuvre would endure as an emblem of British Modernism. A retrospective exhibition held in 2001 further solidified her reputation as one of Nottinghamshire's most influential artists, showcasing the breadth and depth of her artistic exploration.- Notable Works: “Café Interior,” “Women’s Voluntary Services Clothing Exchange,” “The Nottingham Window”
