Anne Bevan

Anne Bevan (born 1965) is a Scottish visual artist, sculptor, and lecturer at Edinburgh College of Art.

It featured nine light tables with sculptural pieces in bronze, plaster and fabric, and poems and text by Janice Galloway.

[4][5] A review featured in The List at the time of the exhibition in 2004 said: “Bevan engages with the obstetric forms but you also feel an infinity lies within the materials she uses, a sense of investment, which is echoed in Galloway’s text.

The text subtly lifts you out of the materiality of the sculptures, enhancing your emotional engagement with the work, whilst the scale and form of the objects creates a bodily reaction that borders on the physically uncomfortable.“ [6] Bevan often looks at themes such as the environment, in particular water and the sea.

In 2012, she was one of 100 artists who co-signed an open letter to Creative Scotland, critical of the organisation, and making a number of requests, including the removal of jargon from official communications and the inclusion of those with artform experience to funding applications.
