**Francis Bacon (1909-1992)
[Ireland / United Kingdom]
Francis Bacon’s paintings confront the body viewed from the inside out: contorted, raw, and often violently deformed.
His male figures are less portraits than psychological states made flesh, painted with brutal brushwork and lurid color to convey anxiety, pain, and existential dread. Bacon’s cramped spaces, smeared backgrounds, and visible painterly violence create a sense of urgency and isolation - the body becomes a site of trauma and a vessel for deep interior turmoil.
Viewers approach Bacon’s canvases at their own risk; the works are cathartic and discomforting in equal measure.
