After Francis Bacon
My paintings of cats are informed by the tradition outsider art and the works of works of Louis Wain, with distinct features and character. I want to show that animal portraits can be more than cheesy cute pet portraits. This painting is called after Francis Bacon, because when I painted it it took on an atmosphere of his work stylistically.
