Tony Bevan: Epistrophies and Heads
When you paint and you do work a lot with feeling, you don’t question certain things…Things happen as you’re working and then its like you’re feeling your way along through the whole work process.
- Tony Bevan
Ben Brown Fine Arts presents Epistrophies and Heads, an exhibition of recent paintings by British artist Tony Bevan, at our London gallery. This will be Bevan's twelfth exhibition with the gallery and marks the second part of our comprehensive exhibition, following the earlier works from this series on view at our Hong Kong gallery through September to November 2023.
This exhibition showcases Bevan's latest series, Epistrophies, in which the artist explores the rhythmic, abstract, infinite possibilities inspired by a singular motif, a tree, which he encountered near his home over many winters. These works will be presented alongside Bevan's Heads paintings, with which he has taken on a looser, more abstract approach as this series progresses. Exhibited together, the repeated forms and complex structures of these works offer a meditation and myriad associations to the viewer, suggestive of the human form and its intricate internal, external and psychological systems.
