Thread: Due to the generosity of an anonymous benefactor I’m able to offer British & Irish addresses a special deal.

My benefactor loves the idea of sharing hope, empathy, joy & love through my work. Take a look & celebrate #PRIDE2020

Thread: We are all missing the celebration of hope, empathy, joy & love that is Pride more than ever.

To share that joy an anonymous benefactor has supported a special project I’m running for all Irish & British residents! Take a look

Francis Bacon (1909-92) was a great Irish artist who captured the horror, disaster & evil of the 20th century with its catastrophic oppression & wars. He was a nihilist, an exile & a gay man in an era of destruction (self portraits, 1970 & 1973)

In the 70s he travelled widely to Morocco, Egypt & China & was commercially successful. Nasturtiums (1980), Portrait (1970) & Gervase (c1968) & Marcus (1971)

In NY he spent an evening taking drugs with muse Gervase Griffiths & this informed some hallucinatory art. He felt that Gervase was the most beautiful man he had ever seen & painted him often

In 1973 he married Kirsten Benson & had a son with her. She sold her restaurant to Langan & Procktor, Hockney, Bacon & Freud helped decorate the walls. Lamp & Pines (1975), Two Diners on Desert (c1976) & Victoria Falls (1974). Regents Park (1973) is a delicate landscape

In 1962 he became a full time artist & had his first exhibition at the Redfern Gallery in 1963. Figures (1963), Figure (1963), Seated Figure (1962) & Head of John the Baptist (1964) show an interest in expressionism

During Procktor’s national service he learnt Russian. Polish Pilots (1960), Study (1958) & Antiques Room (1958) show his initial style which was influenced by his teachers. Later his work would become delicate & more sensual

Thread: June is usually a time of joy, hope, empathy & love - themes celebrated in #Pride every year.

I was talking about this to a collector & she kindly offered to support a very special deal for British & Irish residents! Take your pick!

One of his most beautiful works is Boreas. It’s clear he had studied the draperies of Renaissance Venetian art. Boreas (1903), Echo & Narcissus (1903) & Study for Lamia (c1904-5)
