Lincoln Townley

Original Paintings and Signed Art Prints

Lincoln Townley, a British artist, is known for his passionate and expressive figurative paintings. Townley's dark and often tormented vision aims to depict "the chaos simmering just beneath the surface of our existence, which drives our impulses to strive and win in life". Townley's brushstrokes and surfaces are rough and turbulent, reflecting the artist's confidence and fearlessness in the face of personal challenges. He was born on December 27, 1972, in London, England, and is primarily self-taught. He turned to painting after becoming sober and leaving his job as a nightclub promoter, and he has credited his background as a source of inspiration for his early work, which has been collected by Charlie Sheen, Al Pacino, and Russell Brand. He has exhibited at the National Gallery, the Royal Academy, Somerset House, and the Saatchi Gallery, among others.
