At Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio. London 1980.
A detail from Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. This close-up captures a highly textured surface covered in thick daubs of impasto paint. The dynamic palette mixes vibrant orange, yellow, and red with earthy ochres, blues, and browns. Layered throughout, the varied brushwork—from short dabs to long smears—creates a powerful sense of movement, with the three-dimensional quality of the paint and the marks of the brush bristles clearly visible.
