Before the layered mixed media canvases that have made Lincoln Townley's Skull Banker series one of the most sought-after bodies of work in contemporary British art, before the lacquer and resin and the accumulated physical weight of the finished paintings, there is a sheet of paper and a mark made in real time — the first statement of an idea that will eventually command five and six-figure prices at Sotheby's, Christie's, and Bonhams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudy for Banker Collection (Full Figure) is exactly this: a working drawing from 2025 in which Townley establishes the full compositional architecture of a new Banker figure. The suited form, the chain details, the specific posture of a man who operates at the extreme end of financial systems — all of it present here in the urgent, searching line of a practitioner thinking with his pen. The LT monogram and signature confirm direct authorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTownley describes his practice as \"psychological expressionism\" — painting about what it takes, and what it takes from you. These studies are the most direct available record of that psychological process: the artist not yet editing, not yet refining, simply looking at what he is trying to say and finding a way to say it. Collected by Al Pacino, Sylvester Stallone, and Robbie Williams. Sold through Sotheby's, Christie's, and Bonhams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable exclusively through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
