‘Ephemeral visions’ is the title of Oliver Bevan’s art exhibition in the town hall of the 6th arrondissement of Paris from February 4-25, 2023, launched with the support of the 6th arrondissement Committee for Festivals, Cultural and Social Action.
Born in 1941 in Peterborough, England, the former student of the Royal College of Art in London is recognized for the atypical path that led him from abstraction (through op'art, kinetic art, and photography) to figurative works.
Oliver Bevan never had any other vocation than to be a painter. Attracted by light, he has lived and worked for more than 20 years in the Gard in Uzès, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France.
The paintings in this exhibition are only a small part of his work, but they illustrate his favourite themes: the ephemeral, the fleeting: the passing of time. Shadows, reflections, light, and water. Matter and emptiness.
