Lincoln Townley
(British, born 1972)
Biography
Lincoln Townley is a British contemporary artist known for his expressive figurative paintings. Drawn from the artist’s subconscious, the dark and often tormented imagery of Townley’s work seeks to evoke “the chaos bubbling just below the surface of our lives, which drive our desires to succeed and win in life,” he has explained. Characterized by their aggressive brushstrokes and roiling surfaces, these works also reflect the Townley’s bravado and fearlessness in the face of personal struggles and as an artist. Born on December 27, 1972 in London, United Kingdom, he is largely self-taught. He began to focus on his painting after becoming sober and leaving his original career in marketing night clubs, and has cited his past as a source of inspiration for his early work, which was collected by the likes of Charlie Sheen, Al Pacino, and Russell Brand. Townley has exhibited internationally, including The National Gallery, The Royal Academy, Somerset House, The Saatchi gallery, and The Brisbane Powerhouse, among others. He lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
