Super urban villas and the paintings of Francis Bacon
The
paintings of Francis Bacon are a distortion of reality. Bacon's work is about
extreme isolation - by which is meant the internal aspect of isolation. The
urban villas came about by rendering these paintings as a three-dimensional
experience. It is a game played between mass and void, between heavy and light,
between investing in peace of mind, and an indictment of reality. Paris,
Amsterdam or New York. Berlin, Buenos Aires or Barcelona. In all the villas
isolation and individualism are the main thrust. Which is why I refer to Bacon's
paintings. He distorts reality, so as to bring a more deep-rooted reality into
view.
