Oil on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed on the front.

This double self-portrait was my entry to the 2022 Archibald Prize. This work is heavily inspired by the paintings of Francis Bacon.
This is one of my more loose, intuitive and raw works where I wanted the brushwork/individual brushstrokes visible, letting the paint speak as much as the colour and forms.
For something interesting I decided to create a double portrait like a diptych (although this is the one canvas). I believe the differently angled portraits creates a degree of movement and energy in the piece.
Ready to hang with strong wire/d-rings on the back.
The canvas has been custom-made and the wooden stretcher is thick/deep (35mm deep) and is strong, complimented by a cross-brace on the back.
