The Irish-born artist Francis Bacon (1909–1992) painted 28 known triptychs between 1944 and 1986. He began to work in the format in the mid-1940s with a number of smaller scale formats before graduating in 1962 to large examples. He followed the larger style for 30 years, although he painted a number of smaller scale triptychs of friend's heads, and after the death of his former lover George Dyer in 1971, the three acclaimed 'Black Triptychs'.
I have the idea alongside my FMP to use three canvases/paintings placed next to each other, which work as separate paintings but also relate as a trio. Similar to Francis Bacon's, I want my work to contain repetitive colour and ideas. Maybe look at and produce portraits of three different people(probably girls) that I know and paint them in suggestive ways. Representing their thoughts and feelings of what it means today to be a young woman within the work. I am going to start of on quite a small scale to see which portray my idea best and then probably increase in size.
