Artist Statement
Tony Bevan (b. 1951) is widely acclaimed as one of the leading figurative painters at work today, following in the footsteps of School of London artists such as Frank Auerbach and Francis Bacon in their reinvention of form. His focus on the vulnerability of the human body and frequent use of his own body in his painting also allies him to artists such as Georg Baselitz, Philip Guston and Arnulf Rainer.
In recent years he has also worked on abstracted architectural subjects such as corridors, rafters and stacked furniture which often possess a disturbing, uncomfortable presence.
James Hyman Gallery has worked with Tony Bevan for several years.
