Lincoln townley

Lincoln Townley is a British Contemporary Artist. Lincoln Townley’s figurative heavy impasto oil paintings capture the darker side of the human experience and apprehend it within recognisable gestures and a menacing palette. Having participated in the 2019, 2022, 2024 and currently planning his return for the 2026 Venice Biennale, with exhibitions over the last 12 years in New York City, London, Los Angeles, Berlin, Paris and Singapore.The highly successful contemporary artist creates powerful images of the deepest gradients of our soul. His ability to capture the power of success in his paintings has made him hugely collectible by leaders of industry and many A-list celebrities such as Al Pacino, Sir Michael Caine, Ricky Gervais and Cate Blanchett to name a few. After having found solace in the work of artists like Francis Bacon and Edvard Munch, his art continues to reclaim the experience of confrontation and doubt, as when looking into a stained reflection, confident, strong and sensational, if what we just saw is indeed our own spectral image.
