George (after Francis Bacon)
An interpretation in stone of a triptych of paintings by Francis Bacon entitled "Three studies for portrait of George Dyer (on light ground) 1963".
A piece that reimagines Bacon's brush strokes, colours and forms on canvas into three dimensions. A sort of painting from life in reverse. The key challenge was to try and represent in stone Bacon’s energetic and bold use of layered colour and sweeping brushstrokes whilst still retaining the 'signifiers of likeness' and the person within, the “human presence”. I find it exhilarating.
This piece was initiated at Tre Luci Studios in Pietrasanta, Italy throughout October 2025 and finished in my studio in 2026. I utilised my adaptation of the pointing method working directly from clay.
Material; Carrara Marble Bianco P
Dimensions HWD; 42x24x29cm
