PONTONE GALLERY PRESENTS 19 NEW WORKS BY SCOTTISH PAINTER IAIN FAULKNER.
Pontone Gallery is delighted to announce a solo exhibition featuring a new series of paintings by renowned Scottish artist Iain Faulkner. Known for his evocative, introspective portrayals of solitary figures against stunning landscapes, Faulkner's latest works transport viewers to the shores of Alpine Italy, particularly the scenic vistas of Lake Como and Lago di Braies.
The exhibition's centerpiece is a compelling, lone figure, often considered an embodiment of Faulkner himself, gazing over sweeping natural landscapes-a contemporary homage to romantic introspection inspired by Caspar David Friedrich's iconic "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog". Each composition reflects Faulkner's meticulous attention to detail, with a mastery in tonal and color precision that captures a crystal-clear, nearly tangible reality.
Faulkner's art, celebrated internationally, invites audiences into moments of quiet reflection and resilience. His unassuming self-portraits, clad in a simple white shirt and black trousers, offer viewers an 'everyman' perspective, urging them to stand beside him and appreciate the world in its profound beauty.
This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore Faulkner's contemporary vision of solitude and contemplation. We welcome art lovers and collectors alike to experience this powerful collection.
