About the Item
Giuseppe Ragazzini’s Omaggio a Bacon (2005) stands as a seminal piece in the artist's oeuvre, bridging traditional painting with contemporary expressionism. In this oil and mixed-media work, Ragazzini pays tribute to Francis Bacon’s raw emotional power and haunting distortion of form. The central figure, seated and crowned, extends an arm to paint a spectral face floating against a deep blue background—a face that seems to both confront and dissolve under the weight of introspection. Ragazzini’s use of transparent layers, skeletal outlines, and frenetic brushwork echoes Bacon’s exploration of the human psyche but is reinterpreted with a uniquely fragmented composition and symbolic depth.
The contrasting color palette, with muted grays, deep blues, and sudden bursts of red, creates a dynamic tension between serenity and anguish. Textural variety—from smooth brushstrokes to rough scratches—adds dimensionality, inviting closer inspection. The work transcends mere homage, becoming a reflection on artistic legacy, mortality, and the self-destructive nature of creative obsession. Ideal for contemporary interiors or collectors seeking profound narrative-driven artwork, Omaggio a Bacon captures a moment of vulnerability suspended in time, where painting becomes both an act of creation and confrontation.

View AllA Place to Hide - Surrealist Figurative Painting
By Parris Jaru
Located in New York, NY
Parris Jaru's A Place to Hide is a 9 x 12 inches oil painting representing surrealist animals. The primary color is a bright yellow and blue. A glittering paint defines the surface of the canvas. Jaru creates colors from plant-based pigments that Jaru collects during his long exploratory trips through India. The imagery is very playful, presenting surrealist animals drawn with the simplification of forms of some faux-naive art and some graffiti and street artworks.
NY-born Parris Jaru comes from a Jamaican, Blackfoot Nation, and Arawak Nation background from both his parents. His work is informed by the vivid colors and imagery experienced in his childhood years spent in the coastal town of St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica. His exploratory journeys in India enriched his work with a sensibility to natural plant-based pigments that he grinds with oils for his paintings.
In his Brooklyn studio, Jaru brings all these cultural inspirations together. His entire body of work is informed by an intentional childlike, faux-naïve style, constantly shifting between figurative and abstraction. Even though at times, Jaru has been working on somber and entirely figure-free paintings, most of his work is defined by poignantly colored and playful surrealistic figures. Jaru often draws his figures with a continuous line emerging from a thick impasto of paint made with powders of Sea Algae, Hibiscus, Gymnema Sylvestre, and Turmeric.
