Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews studio. London 1980.
Francis Bacon stands in the doorway of his famously chaotic Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. Dressed in a grey turtleneck, he looks directly at the camera, his hand resting on the paint-splattered jamb. The studio is a scene of creative disarray, with walls and doors covered in layered paint splotches and a floor cluttered with open cans and brushes. The use of a wide-angle lens captures the room’s distinct curvature, immersing the viewer in a space where a blank canvas stands in stark contrast to its surroundings.
