Artist Statement
From traditional printmaking techniques to digital print, infinite modularity, light and film, I’m interested in the unorthodox. I draw ideas from multiple scenarios to create a single scene, whether aesthetically historical, absurdly satirical or successfully polemical. In this case, historically familiar.
My concern as an artist is still maturing. Humour is important to me and always difficult to express, and to provide the viewer with a clear understanding of the concept. What matters to me is that the viewer can relate.
About the Artist
bevron was founded in 1996 by visual artist Ward Squires whilst studying under Anne Lord, Ron McBurnie and Tate Adams at the JCU Lyre Bird Press print facilities. It had its first solo show RollyPolly at Umbrella Studios, Townsville in the following year.
Finishing his studies at RMIT, Melbourne in 1999, with an introduction to digital design.
bevron is an anti-brand, mimicking the outrageous pursuits of advertising and those who are consumed by it. It is a make-believe hybrid word derived from two well-known brands: Avon (cosmetics) and Breville (appliances).
