Bernard ter Hoeven (Bee Flowers) earned an MA from the Royal College of Art and has shown his work internationally in both solo and group exhibitions. Originally from the Netherlands, he lived in several countries before settling in the UK.

In the Flow and Forge series, Bernard ter Hoeven examines the tension between personal growth and cultural affiliation, and the enduring force of ideas and belief systems. He treats history as a current of fragments from which each moment assembles a provisional “now.” These assemblies are not arbitrary; they are anchored in persistent cultural frameworks that exert pressure on the individual, sustaining continuity over time.

His work was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries and included in New Highlights of the International Art Scene (Benetton Foundation's Art Theorema #1).
