Anthony Cudahy

Anthony Cudahy is an artist who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York City. He mostly paints portraits of individuals with a bold sense of colour and light, using thick strokes of the paint brush. For me, his work echoes features of Francis Bacon's paintings, not just with technique but also the eerie and unfamiliar subjects and emotion emitting from the painting, and also Lucian Freud, because of the fleshy feel of the paint. 





Francis Bacon - Self Portrait (1970)








Lucian Freud - Reflection (1985)
