The brilliantly brash British phenom Ian Francis returns to Kinsey/DesForges for his second solo show. Once again, the artist presents visceral, even garish, large-scale works that are highly expressionistic — think Francis Bacon or Willem de Kooning — yet include just enough figurative elements to make them accessible. Juxtaposing allegorical tendencies with an abstract style that leaves vague, but lasting, impressions of lust, anguish, and violence, Francis keeps viewers hanging somewhere between logical narratives and emotional experiences that have been displaced from their story lines.
