This portraitback to top

The depiction of the human figure is a major theme in Tony Bevan's work and this painting marks the culmination of a series of self-portraits from the early 1990s. Rendered in oil paint and pigment, the flesh has a characteristic rawness, suggesting wounding and bruising, influenced by the portraits of Francis Bacon.
