“Symptoms can create a barrier in living the life one used to lead. Medications also have their side effects or perhaps keep one in a holding pattern instead of helping the individual regain full health. These paintings explore what it might be like to live with chronic illness, the patterns that surround it and the disconnection that can be felt.”
Bevan gained a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ilam, University of Canterbury School of Fine Arts in 2005. He currently lives and works in Wellington where his practice involves painting and drawing. With interests in colour theory, Op Art, and psychology of perception; his paintings explore the interaction between colour, pattern and subject matter from everyday surroundings. He has been a finalist in major New Zealand art awards multiple times. Currently his painting, Leaving For Work, is on display at the TSB Bank Wallace Art Centre as part of the travelling exhibition for the Wallace Art Awards 2012. Bevan’s works are held in the Wallace Collection and private collections in New Zealand and Australia.
