Early years - 60ties and 70ties
After Francis
For a number years I have studied the work of Francis Bacon (1909 - 1992). I admired the 'plastic' distortions in his portraits and figure studies and the architectural settings for the actors in the large tryptichs. Influence can be seen in much of my oeuvre, but there are obvious differences, and inevitably Francis Bacon served only as a route in finding my own way of expression.
