Description from the seller

Francis Bacon – Seated Figure

The work presents a male figure lying on a bench inside an abstract domestic space, defined by stark color fields and by an essential perspectival construction. The body is deformed, almost liquefied, with the face contorted in a grimace that recalls the central themes of Baconian poetics: suffering, instability, and loss of identity. The rigidity of the architectural environment intensifies the contrast with the figure's fragility.

The composition is typical of Francis Bacon's exploration of the human body as a field of emotional and psychological tension. The figure, isolated and vulnerable, appears trapped in a true 'visual cage', one of the artist's most recognizable formal devices. The warm, earthy tones, interrupted by cooler color fields, contribute to creating an atmosphere of discomfort and suspension.

It is a striking image, able to command the space and to stand as a visual and conceptual focal point. It is especially suited for contemporary art collections, representative settings, or spaces with a curatorial approach, where dialogue with the viewer is direct and free of decorative mediations.

Original lithograph based on an iconic subject by Francis Bacon, representative of his more mature and instantly recognizable body of work. A piece of great expressive intensity, highly appreciated by collectors for its historical value and for the emotional power of the image.
