Tony Bevan

Tony Bevan is a British painter known for his large-scale, figurative works that explore the expressive potential of line, form, and color.

Bevan was born in Bradford, England in 1951 and studied at the Bradford College of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art in London. He began exhibiting his work in the late 1970s and has since become known for his distinctive, bold style. Bevan's paintings are characterized by their raw, gestural brushwork, which emphasizes the physicality of the act of painting. He often uses himself or his friends and family as subjects, creating portraits that are both intimate and powerful. His paintings also frequently incorporate elements of architecture and urban landscapes, reflecting his interest in the relationship between human identity and the built environment.
