artist research

Francis bacon was an Irish painter who's main focus was on the human figure and of faces. he is known mainly for his distortion of the figures he paints some of which are considered very ghastly as you can see in his art some of his main inspiration came from surrealism which I am also heavily inspired by, other inspirations of his include films and photography. his figures were always presented as sort of isolated so from them the carry a sense of despair I wanted to also convay this in my figures but contrast that with some bold bright colours to ensure it was not all doom and gloom.

I personally love the style of his work and hope to convey some of that raw boldness and freedom within my art.
