About this work

This drawing shows Francis Bacon and James Baldwin side by side in a digital slot-game layout. The images are edited photos, not traditional drawings. They roll like slots until they stop randomly. The artist used a gambling app to mix famous faces. It’s a quirky way to put thinkers and painters in the same spin. Try looking up Poulantza, Natassa (1965).
