Description from the seller

Francis Bacon - Two Figures with a Monkey

The composition shows a figure lying on a bed, deformed and almost shapeless, placed within a closed space punctuated by violent color blocks: the saturated orange of the walls, the deep black of the background, and the acid green of the surface create an immediate visual tension. The body, lacking a stable physiognomy, appears crushed, twisted, reduced to a pulsating mass of flesh, in keeping with one of the most radical themes of Bacon’s research.

The presence of the small simian figure under the bed introduces a disturbing and almost grotesque element, heightening the psychological dimension of the work. The setting is essential, theatrical, built like an emotional cage in which the main figure is exposed, vulnerable, with no way to escape. The hanging light bulb contributes to an atmosphere of isolation and cruel intimacy.

It is an image with strong visual and emotional impact, one that immediately captures the eye and offers no reassuring readings. The work asserts itself as the absolute centerpiece of the space, ideal for high-level contemporary art collections or environments with a decisive, curatorially-driven character.

Original lithograph based on an iconic subject by Francis Bacon, representative of his most intense and recognizable body of work. A work of great collectible value, appreciated for its expressive power and for its fidelity to the artist's most extreme poetics.
