Curator Michael Peppiatt and artist Tony Bevan RA in conversation online: 'Frank Auerbach/Tony Bevan: What is a Head?', Ben Brown Fine Arts

FRANK AUERBACH / TONY BEVAN: WHAT IS A HEAD? at Ben Brown Fine Arts

Attend an online conversation between curator Michael Peppiatt and artist Tony Bevan RA discussing the upcoming exhibition, Frank Auerbach/Tony Bevan: What Is A Head? on Tuesday 1 December at 5pm.

The conversation will be moderated by Thomas Hoegh, Founder of Arts Alliance and collector.

The concept for the show is based on the exhibition organised by Michael in 1998 at the Musée Maillol in Paris under the title L’Ecole de Londres de Bacon à Bevan, which traced the influence of Bacon, Freud, Auerbach and Kossoff on the younger generation of figurative artists working in London. A generation apart, Bevan and Auerbach share a fascination for the conceptual and painterly possibilities of reinventing heads. For both artists, the head is the centre that controls everything we do, its mysterious significance laying in its endless sparring of juxtaposed natures: impulse and restraint, instinct and order, spontaneity and discipline. It is rife with contradiction and yet to both remains the prime vessel of human life. The details of the online conversation are as follows and the invitation is attached:
