Far below the surface of things. Francis Bacon (1909-1992) had the rare ability to transform unconscious thoughts in figurative human forms that seemed to evoke pure emotion that they wore. Through a mix of realism and abstraction Bacon digs deep beneath the surface of things, the human body to open and the chaos that lies within it reveal and struggling with everything that is inexplicable. The work of this legendary artist's erotic and strangely beautiful. His haunting, distorted figures have whole generations of painters, who tried his very original style to match, inspired.
