Tony Bevan: Painting 1980-87 at the ICA in London confirmed Bevan’s status as a leading figure in British painting and his exploration of figurative and abstract representation have made him one of the UK’s leading contemporary painters. Self Portrait (1993) is from the period during and immediately following Bevan’s major exhibition at the ICA. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Bevan moved from subjectivity towards abstraction. At the core of Bevan’s art is an abiding preoccupation with confronting the self; his ‘Heads’ emphasise of the unique structuring of the human body.
