Rembrandt and Bacon


This piece was inspired by Bacon’s triptych and his quote, “It’s always hopeless to talk about painting- one never does anything but talk around it.” That is exactly what I wanted the viewers to do: talk around the painting. Single-handedly experience the transformation of the body from one sin of life to the other as if one is in Dante’s Purgatory. I have tried to echo the rhythm of Rembrandt’s brushstrokes to convey the vanity and jagged bits of life with the rough and quick lines.
