* IAIN FAULKNER, THE BATHERS oil on canvas, signed with initials 137cm x 137cm Framed. Note: Scottish artist Iain Faulkner graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1996 with a BA in Fine Art. He has had numerous solo shows in the UK, USA, France, Switzerland, Spain and Italy. He is represented by the prestigious Albemarle Gallery (London). His work appears in many private and corporate collections and in 2010 he was commissioned to paint the European Ryder Cup Team member portraits. Faulkner's work highlights moments of withdrawal and consolidation, where the subject turns inward. The images imply a sense of a nomadic existence. The fact that the face is obscured or turned away, allows us to see the figure as an everyman, a player both familiar and universal. They conjure ideas of modern-day, male heroes. Solitary and brooding, these figures suggest alienation, but also speak of autonomy and resilience. Many of Iain Faulkner's paintings have been published as limited edition fine art prints and they sell in prolific numbers. His original work very rarely appears at auction but a 150 x 150cm oil on canvas titled ''At The Bar'' sold at McTear's 17.11.2013 lot 1829 for £5800 (hammer).
