Man and beast is the work of writer Francis Bacon mixed with his own life experiences. Through the study of the habits of the same object, it is
combined with the behavior of human like.Because of his experience as an interior designer, his works are filled with depictions of space.
Head I, an interior scene is depicted through a corner of the ceiling and a white balustrade in the background. The only recognizable ear in the painting seems to represent that it depicts a person. The sharp teeth and blurred face make it impossible to tell whether it is a human or an animal. The corner of the ceiling, and the dimly lit interior give a sense of edge.
This work is displayed separately at the beginning of the gallery. In this way, the visitor can feel the style of the author’s work from the moment he enters the room.
The entire exhibition hall unfolds in a linear fashion, with the space moving from small to large, and the lighting in the exhibition hall becoming brighter and brighter, with the works displayed in a sequence from abstraction to near reality and back again. From personal experiences to descriptions of society.
Bacon all felt that he could come closer to understanding the true nature of human beings by observing the unrestrained behavior of animals. Both animals and humans are similar in their nature.
