Study after an Hong Kong cityscape (Tribute to Francis Bacon)_1
I've always been fascinated by the work of Francis Bacon and inexplicably attracted by his "Study after Velázquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X", which is definitely one of his most powerful and dramatic paintings.
With my camera I've tried to experiment and see if somehow I could give back the sense of tension and drama that come out from all his painting and especially the Pope's portrait.
This shot is the first of a mini-series of 3: it's a triple exposure of a street in Central area (Hong Kong), with one of the shots being an ICM, where I moved the camera vertically with a long exposure, trying to reproduce the gesture of Bacon's brush strokes.
