This finely composed work depicts a stylised mountainous river landscape, possibly the Trossachs in Scotland or Eryri (Snowdonia) in North Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece shows confident, rhythmic brushwork and bold colour harmony – characteristics of Bevan’s early style before his later move into sculpture. Signed with his monogram and inscribed verso, the painting captures Bevan’s early fascination with natural structure and form, themes that would later define his sculptural language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Bevan (1946–2018) was a British artist, sculptor, and educator whose creative career spanned over fifty years. He trained as a painter at the Royal College of Art, London (1968–1971) and later became a highly regarded tutor at the Glasgow School of Art, teaching from 1973 until 2003. Originally a painter, Bevan’s early oils explored the structure and rhythm of landscape — stylised scenes from Scotland, Wales, and beyond — revealing a deep concern with form, energy, and the essence of natural places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1989, a visit to India profoundly altered the course of his practice. Immersed in Indian art and philosophy, Bevan shifted focus to sculpture, working in clay, stone, wood, fibreglass, and bronze. His pieces became meditations on humanity and craft — “thoughtfulness, integrity, and an abiding concern for what makes us human,” as described by Professor Ray Mackenzie of GSA. He undertook numerous international residencies in India, China, Japan, Greece, and the USA; produced two major solo shows at Compass Gallery, Glasgow —\nLove and Liberty\n(2009) and\nPortraits of the Poet\n(2010), both inspired by Robert Burns; and created the public sculpture\nPaisley Date Palms\n(2009) at the House for an Art Lover, Glasgow. He received the Prince of Wales Bursary for the Arts and studied Classical Asian Art at the British Museum in 2004–05. Bevan lived and worked in Scotland until his passing in 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProvenance \u0026amp; Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcquired from a private UK collection.
