Footnote
Note:
Glaswegian artist Faulkner has built a strong reputation in the primary market for his work. Focusing on figurative subject matter, his paintings are underpinned by meticulous draughtsmanship and carefully considered composition. His subject is almost exclusively the male figure and his work gently alludes to the underlying psychology of his sitters, an effect enhanced by the often isolated or contextless environment he places them within, as in the two examples offered here. The effect is contemplative and atmospheric. Both of large scale, these examples represent two of the most major works by the artist to be seen at auction to date.
