Francis Bacon and the invisible Freud

A man containing many words and phrases

This picture was created after deciding to cut-out the image of 'Lucien Freud' for another picture.

The silhouette that was left looked very empty without a background so I decided to overlay this picture on top of a rough draft of text that was very kindly given to me by a good friend of mine Roland Barnacle.

What you end up with is a very ghostly image standing next to Francis Bacon, albeit one with a body made up of obscured words as opposed to emptiness.

The Black and White photograph adds to the eeriness of the image, whilst the windswept look of Francis Bacon just gives the picture that final cold edge.
