I‘ll be heading to the National Portrait Gallery in London this November – for their Francis Bacon retrospective, Human Prescence.
Bacon was hugely influential for me, especially during my teenage years. After weaning myself on abstract expressionism I needed something new to inspire me. Visceral and exciting, Bacon's paintings leapt off the page, teeth bared, and dragged me in. This new show features 50 works and celebrates his incredible, unique approach to portraiture. See you there! Runs until 19 January.
