At Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio. London 1980.
A high-angle view captures a heavily used work surface in Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio, London, 1980. The board is a chaotic abstract of paint daubs and smears: a vertical band of saturated red, a central yellow splotch marked with a red-orange circle, and surrounding dabs of purple, teal, and ultramarine blue. The application varies from thick, textured impasto to thin washes, creating a dynamic surface where faint handwriting can be discerned beneath the layers of color.
