Lincoln Townley

Lincoln Townley is a British contemporary artist renowned for his powerful, expressionist portraits that delve into the darker sides of fame, excess, and human psychology. 

A self-taught painter, Townley transitioned from a successful career in public relations to the art world, bringing with him a deep understanding of celebrity culture and its shadows.

Contemporary Visionary of Fame | Born 1972

Lincoln Townley

His work is characterised by bold brushwork, distorted faces, and a raw, emotional intensity that confronts the viewer head-on. 

Townley’s acclaimed ICON and Behind the Mask series explore the hidden turmoil behind power and public image, often drawing comparisons to the emotional depth of Francis Bacon and the gestural energy of abstract expressionism. 

Townley’s rise has been meteoric, with collectors including royalty, Hollywood elites, and international institutions. 
He has exhibited at the Royal Academy and across major cities including London, New York, and Hong Kong. Unapologetically ambitious and psychologically charged, Townley’s work challenges us to see beyond the surface—into the chaos, ego, and vulnerability that define the modern condition.
