Tony Bevan Head & Neck Bloody Stitches Graphic Fine Art Painting Postcard

ABIZRA250  This is a beautiful undated but modern published official postcard from Londons Royal Academy Of Arts for this historic painting by Tony Bevan of Head & Neck with artist details, dates, dimensions etc & Royal Academy Of Arts logo on reverse being the official souvenir from when exhibited unused and mint. 

Executed through a raw and highly visceral acrylic and charcoal on canvas technique, this unsettling self-portrait utilizes a starkly confrontational, oversized vertical layout driven by an intense palette of fiery vermilions, deep bruising purples, and jagged, crystalline charcoal lines. The visual framework isolates a dramatically hyperextended, backwards-tilted human head, detailing vulnerable downward-cast eyes and a sharp diagonal scar pattern cutting violently across the raw flesh of the neck. Painted in 2007 and formally presented as his official Diploma Work for the Royal Academy of Arts following his election as a Royal Academician, this psychologically charged masterpiece titled Head and Neck strips away social facades to map out an internal, existential landscape of human vulnerability and trauma.
