I often comment about artists who paint in a particular style, and ask myself whether they could do something completely different, marking them out as a versatile artist. Well, Bean has gone the full mile with this portrait piece that couldn’t be further removed from his usual cartoon characters.
I have to say I was quite flabbergasted when I saw this, and admire Bean even more than I did before. I knew he was clearly very talented, but this portrait takes my view of him to another level. I hope he will be painting in Bristol more over the Summer months, and will wait to see what other hidden talents he has in his locker.

Haha, I hadn’t noticed that. It is from the adjacent piece, and I didn’t get the context. Well spotted.

I caught up with him whilst he was painting this and he showed me what he was working from.
Needless to say he smashed it!
