About Oliver Bevan
- Oliver Bevan (born 28 March 1941) is an English artist, who was born in Peterborough and educated at Eton College.
- After leaving school he spent a year in 1959-60 working for Voluntary Service Overseas in British North Borneo before returning to London to study painting at the Royal College of Art, where he became strongly influenced by Op Art and in particular the work of Victor Vasarely.
- Bevan graduated from the RCA in 1964 and had his first exhibition of Op Art-inspired paintings the following year.
- Optical, geometric and kinetic art then served him well until the late 1970s when he moved to the Canadian prairies for a two-year teaching post at the University of Saskatchewan.
- By the time he returned to London in 1979 he had abandoned abstract art in favour of figurative art and urban realism.
