Description from the seller

Francis Bacon - Two Figures with a Monkey

The composition shows a figure lying on a bed, deformed and almost formless, placed within a closed space marked by violent color fields: 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, contorted, 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 monkey-like figure beneath the bed introduces a perturbing, almost grotesque element, heightening the psychological dimension of the work. The environment is spare, theatrical, built like an emotional cage in which the main figure is exposed, vulnerable, with no escape. The suspended light bulb contributes to an atmosphere of isolation and cruel intimacy.

It is an image of strong visual and emotional impact, which immediately captures the gaze and offers no reassuring readings. The work asserts itself as the absolute core of the space, ideal for high-level contemporary art collections or settings with a decisive and curatorially minded character.

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