Bevan’s
distinctive graphic style, highly textured surfaces, and persistent exploration
of figurative and abstract representation have made him one of the United Kingdom’s
most significant contemporary painters. In this refined

painting, composed of his distinctive
pigment-rich skeletal forms, Bevan highlights strong angles through thick lines and
marks of pure colour. Bevan's
profound aesthetic can be distinguished by his exclusive use of charcoal
and self-produced acrylic paints in
a typically restrained palette of black and red. Bevan
vigorously applies his pure acrylic pigments and charcoal directly onto raw
canvas or paper laid down on the floor of his studio, preserving the
splinters and dust of the charcoal and powdery pigments on the surface of
his works, resulting in a dynamic tactility and insight into his working
method.
