Today Anton Chekhov is arguably best known for his plays, and although I count myself as a huge fan of his masterful short stories, I am not terribly familiar with
these classic theatrical works (aside from Louis Malle's brilliant Vanya on 42nd Street).
Artlyst attended this impressive and mesmerising
work to experience the unique fusion of great British master painter of the 20th century and contemporary sound installation of the 21st century, creating an orchestral and ambient
work of art in its own right, with operatic, and
theatrical leitmotifs that create a temporal aspect to Bacon's
classic painting, transforming the gallery space into a Baconian space - frame in its own right.
