A new Francis Bacon exhibition at the Royal Academy in London is considered so extreme it’s been given a ‘trigger warning’. 

‘Francis Bacon: Man and Beast’ explores the artist’s fascination with animals, their traits, instincts as well as human animalistic behaviours. It’s definitely not one for the faint of heart.
