ICONS Polyptych No.1 by Lincoln Townley

Lincoln Townley

Pacino, Cruise, Nicholson, Madonna. Four names that embody the definition of an icon gathered in one polyptych by UK artist Lincoln Townley. Known for his portraits of many of the world’s greatest artists and performers, Townley depicts the creative power of these four extraordinary people and the furious energy of these portraits comes from the strong, unconscious drives that push these icons to the limit of what they can create. They are also the drives that lace their creativity with risk and to balance on the edge of danger and still keep moving is the essence of what transforms a performer into an icon.

“I express myself without fear. I descend into familiar, dark places, which, on many occasions, have almost consumed me. But isn’t that what being an artist means? To paint without restraint, to face the fear of death, violence, insignificance, to know that that the chaos bubbling just below the surface, those unconscious forces we can neither name nor control, has something to teach us about what it means to be alive. I almost drank and drugged myself to death and painting my demons is my way of staying alive. If I wasn’t painting them, they’d destroy me. It may not always be easy on the eye or soft on the heart but my work is honest and I can only paint my truth.”

Townley’s work is collected by clients from all corners of the globe, he continues to work between London and Cheshire.
