Abstract

The article 'Im/Pulsive practices: painting and the logic of sensation' offers a critique of Gilles Deleuze's interpretation of the notion of the 'figurai' which is elaborated in his 1989 article, 'Francis Bacon: the logic of sensation \ This article argues that the effects of the figurai may be activated in figurative and abstract painting and not just in the work of Francis Bacon.
