Kings Place, 90 York Way, Kings Cross, N1 9AG
Exhibitions: , Art, Photography, Gallery
How Much:
Free!
After the major retrospective at Tate Britain in 2008, Francis Bacon is pretty much everybody's favourite twentieth century painter. So the timing of this exhibition at Kings Place Gallery is pretty much spot on.
On display is a series of portraits of Bacon taken by Francis Giacobetti, whom Bacon met and befriended while the two were living in Paris.
The photographs on show are both a depiction of Bacon the man, and an homage to his artistic style. Blurred, sparsely lit images in reds and black allude to the darkness in Bacon's art, and, one infers, his heart.
Until 15.05.09.
