At Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio. London 1980.
Vertical wooden slats, possibly part of an easel, bear a chaotic, textured collage of dried paint in this close-up from Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. The abstract surface is defined by thick impasto strokes and layered dabs of color. Vibrant patches of orange, red, and sky blue stand out against areas of white, black, and earthy tones. This palpable, three-dimensional surface reveals the history of applications, with the underlying wood visible in sparse areas.
