Lincoln Townley (b. 1971)
Skull Banker | Energy
Original mixed media

Energy is among the most formally charged of the Skull Banker series — a work whose title names the quality that Townley's practice has always been most interested in capturing. His Skull Banker paintings are not portraits in any conventional sense but psychological states rendered in paint: the energy of financial power, of the will to accumulate, of the specific quality of force that drives those who operate at the extreme end of economic systems. Sotheby's have written that his figures "emerge directly into our own space" — and Energy is the work in which that emergence is most completely achieved. Collected by Al Pacino, Sylvester Stallone, and Robbie Williams. Sold through Sotheby's, Christie's, and Bonhams. Available exclusively through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
