MixTate: Visionist on Francis Bacon

On a recent visit to Tate Britain it was Francis Bacon’s Study for a Portrait that most caught my attention. For me, seeing a suited man screaming plays on the notion of outward appearance versus what might be going on inside. The suit is a symbol of professionalism and control, but the action shows the opposite. I guess it is an image I can relate to as I have constant battles with myself. Music for me is a great sense of release as I work on internal situations. In the man’s outburst I don’t just see anger, I see a way of letting off stress and that there can be light in every darkness depending on your approach.
