The painting is shown in the new documentary ‘CHRIS GOLLON: Life in Paint’ (85mins) to demonstrate Gollon’s innovative use of spray paints and a printmaker’s roller. Bacon and Hockney had been criticised for flatness in acrylic which Chris Gollon managed to avoid by combining Old Master techniques, using very thin glazes, with printmaking techniques and – as shown here in this painting – fine art spray paints.
