Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St. Alban, (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626) was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist artist and author. Although his political career ended in disgrace, he remained extremely influential through his works, especially as philosophical advocate and practitioner of the scientific method during the scientific revolution.
Bacon has been called the creator of empiricism. His works established and popularised inductive methodologies for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method, or simply the scientific method. His demand for a planned procedure of investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, much of which still surrounds conceptions of proper methodology today.
Bacon was knighted in 1603, and created both Baron Verulam in 1618 and Viscount St. Alban in 1621; as he died without heirs, both peerages became extinct upon his death. He famously died by contracting pneumonia while studying the effects of freezing on the preservation of meat.





Francic Bacon is a figuarative painter, that uses bold ,graphic and emotionally raw imagery. I like how his art work is usually made of abstracted figures typically appearing isolated in glass or steel cages. The hanging of carcases he uses within his work gave me the idea to present my work and the figures I create in interesting ways. Also maybe by being hung with hooks or strings, relating to the meaning of my work and bringing it a grotesque objectifying quality.
