About this artwork
In crafting this piece, I harnessed the tactile richness of oil to express a human narrative, raw and unfiltered. The bold, impasto brushstrokes offer a dance of light and shadow, capturing the visage's mood—introspective and serene, yet brimming with a silent resolve. This painting is a fervent ode to the complexity of emotions that dwell within us, seeking to resonate with the viewer's own inner experiences. It’s designed to bring a dynamic, emotive…
presence to any space it inhabits.

Simon Blackley, grounded in oil on bespoke 6:00 am grey, channels his visceral Tate Modern epiphany with Francis Bacon's influence. His bold, large-format works peel back layers, dissecting detail to unearth a sub-painting, while striving with the raw discipline of portraiture. Blackley's art resonates with a relentless authenticity, inviting viewers to grapple with memories and see the world refracted through his unapologetic vision.
