About this artwork
The work "Together" by Peter Backhaus is an early work inspired by Francis Bacon. It shows two human figures seemingly merging with each other and forming a unit. The bodies are distorted and contorted, which indicates a strong emotional burden. The colors are somber and eerie, adding to the oppressive atmosphere.
Bacon is known for his depictions of distorted and disfigured human figures that express a deep human despair and isolation. His works… obviously inspired Backhaus, who takes up similar themes in "Together".
Overall, Together is a haunting work that expresses the human desperation and longing for connection and community that is also found in Bacon's work.

« My art is uncompromising and direct. It is unique in its poetic, musical expression. The heart is its abode. It connects with the soul's longing for freedom, co-creation and participatory commitment. »
