About the Item

Iain Faulkner is a British figurative painter, born and raised in Glasgow. His style of painting is hyper-realistic. He eschews the concepts of contemporary art, preferring the more demanding style of figurative art. He uses techniques of draughtsmanship to ensure his paintings are spaced realistically, and can be judged as such. Iain’s art consists mainly of strong, powerful images. They’re designed for impact, without the need to rely on narrative. His characters portray a stillness and introspection. He uses the technique of chiaroscuro, to play with light and shadows, emphasising those contemplative, melancholy moments. Iain Faulkner paints almost exclusively male characters, confident and well-dressed. However, he explores the male psyche with his work, what goes on behind the facade. Vintage cars and whiskeys often add to the atmosphere. As well as paintings, Iain also creates charcoal drawings, where his draughtsmanship skills come back into play, controlling the tone and emphasis of an entire piece with one colour. Iain was commissioned to paint portraits for the 2010 European Ryder Cup team. He has exhibited to ecstatic reviews in London and New York. His strictly limited edition prints are signed, mounted and certified as authentic.

"Dancers resting VII". Impressionist interior scene with two girls. Oil on panel
By Iain FAULKNER
Located in Segovia, ES
"Dancers resting VII". Impressionist interior scene with two girls. Oil on panel Measurements in centimeters: 61 x 61 cm / In inches 24.02 x 24.02 “ Framed: 78 x 78 x 4 cm. / In inches 30.71 x 30.71 x 1.57 " This artwork , signed IF in the left down corner, by the author Iain Faulkner, is a very well studied composition with two dancers, dressed in blue color, lying on a beautiful mosaic floor with gold border, having a rest. The circle design of the mosaic, the figures in three quarters in parallel; opposite the postures, the suits, and the colors blue and flesh. This complementation above and below, and to the left and right of the painting, gives the painting a surprising composition and excellent balance. Despite the thick brushwork, the author achieves a very subtle effect in the definition of the two beautiful figures and very successful effects of light and shadow. Iain Faulkner acknowledges the influence on his painting of artists such as Sargent, Degas, Whistler and, especially, Vermeer, showing scenes with figures performing everyday tasks while lost in thought, like this two dancers. This piece was originaly purchased from Albemarle Gallery in London. ABOUT THE ARTIST Born in Glasgow in 1973 and graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1996 with a BA (Honours) in Fine Art. His degree show was sell-out. Iain Faulkner is now one of Britain's top figurative painters, a stablished artist with the Albemarle/Pontone Galleries in London, and with numerous solo shows in New York, Paris, Geneva, Monaco and Bologna . His work appears in many private and corporate collections and in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. In 2010 he was commissioned to paint the European Ryder Cup...

Falcon (after Landseer)
By Shelley Reed
Located in Bozeman, MT
This is a framed painting. This painting is oil on paper, and is monochromatic black. Reed's primary focus has been the rich vein of Northern European art from the mid-17th through 18th centuries, a period of enlightenment and profound interest in science, nature, and the animal world. Animals were assigned human traits (peacock:vanity; dog:fidelity), and nature itself was considered a symbol of God...
