Bevan Ramsay Photography
Canadian, b. 1977
Bevan Ramsay is a Canadian contemporary artist and sculptor, born in 1977. He completed his first post-graduate degree in Fine Arts, in 1994 and trained as a cabinet-maker and completed an apprenticeship in antique restoration. His artistic practice focuses on the dialogue between expectation and frustration, in which there can be no clear resolution. By exploring contradictory perspectives of a subject, his sculptures and installations do not seek unity, but rather admit paradox as a basic feature of human experience. He is a native of Montréal and is currently based in Norfolk, Connecticut.

Beyond Sociology: The Act of Seeing a Person
Text by Edwin Janzen
It is hardly surprising that in our society perceptions of homeless persons remain two-dimensional, stereotypical, inadequate. Even for the rare administration tackling the problems of homelessness in an effective, meaningful way, the homeless person’s humanity is buried beneath a mountain of endless statistical markers: mental illness, substance abuse, soup-kitchen attendance, etc. The enormous negativity lingering about the resultant profile permits scant room for other, arguably important accoutrements of the human experience—character, emotion, intellect, beauty, relationship to divinity—and leaves homeless persons basically where they already are: on the street, the objects of middle-class loathing or pity.
Struck by this depressing determinism, artist Bevan Ramsay set out to cast portrait busts of homeless persons (one woman, the others men), producing an edition in fine, white statuary Hydrocal plaster mounted on mahogany bases. These portraits, titled Lesser Gods...
