“I did a portrait of my late grandad which is my favourite; he used to like to tell stories. When I finish art school, I want to create a series of paintings detailing these stories,” said Bevan Allicock, a portrait artist and art student.
For Bevan, art is more than capturing someone’s features or emotions, it is part of history.
Nineteen-year-old Bevan hails from Surama, in Region Nine. Aside from common blood, he and his family also share an artistic talent. He is the son of Marcella, a designer and Bertrand Allicock, an architect (also a mechanic). In addition, all of Bevan’s seven siblings are artistic. If the name Allicock sounds familiar, it is because he is the cousin of popular designer Vanda Allicock.
