4me4you recently had the pleasure of visiting Pontone Gallery, where the renowned Scottish artist Iain Faulkner presented his latest exhibition, “A Man Alone…”.
Known internationally for his evocative and introspective works, Faulkner's art invites viewers into the private world of solitude, reflection, and quiet beauty.
A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, Faulkner has spent years developing a distinctive style that merges traditional realism with a contemporary sensibility. His paintings capture moments of stillness and introspection, where the presence of solitary figures in expansive landscapes creates a poignant sense of quiet resilience.
In this latest series, Faulkner transports the viewer to the serene shores of Alpine Italy, where the idyllic vistas of Lake Como and Lago di Braies form the backdrop for his solitary figures. These peaceful, almost mystical settings invite deep reflection, mirroring the emotional landscapes of the figures within them. The artist’s work is not merely about isolation, but about the profound beauty and peace found in moments of solitude.
What sets Faulkner's work apart is the recurring figure that inhabits his paintings: himself. However, these are not traditional self-portraits. Far from the ego-driven portrayals often seen in art, Faulkner’s self-representation is humble and restrained. Dressed in a simple, unassuming white shirt, black trousers, braces, and sturdy shoes, the artist offers himself as an ‘everyman’, a figure that is relatable and grounded. Notably, Faulkner chooses not to reveal his face, leaving his identity to be inferred by his presence alone. This absence invites the viewer to step into his place, to become part of the scene and share in the experience of quiet reflection and awe.
Through these understated yet powerful works, Faulkner encourages us to pause, to stand alongside him, and to see the world through his eyes. By eschewing self-aggrandisement and choosing a plain, unremarkable appearance, Faulkner invites us to appreciate the world’s beauty not through a lens of distinction, but through the simplicity of shared wonder. His paintings become a quiet call to slow down and experience life’s profound beauty in a way that is intimate, humble, and deeply personal.
This is my version of Samantha Everton's "Introspective". Check her out, her photography is phenomenal.

Every image is a gentle negotiation between the seen and the unseen.
Black and white portraits and minimalist places dissolve into a calm, lucid silence—where light sculpts the hidden side of the soul and architecture reveals its poetic geometry.
Moments suspended between consciousness and dream, memory and presence, a journey in the language of introspective visual and photographic poetry.
In ogni immagine si consuma una silenziosa trattativa tra visibile e invisibile.
I ritratti in bianco e nero e i luoghi minimali si dissolvono in un silenzio lucido—dove la luce scolpisce il lato nascosto dell’anima e l’architettura rivela la sua geometria poetica.
Attimi sospesi tra conscio e sogno, memoria e presenza, un viaggio nel linguaggio dell’introspezione visiva e della poesia fotografica.

“4me4you” visits Rook & Raven Gallery showcasing:CELINA TEAGUE: “Brave New World Hits a Glitch
•Rook & Raven Gallery ..>>Approaching painting from an activist's standpoint, but addressing activism as an introspective narrative, a concern with environmental and feminist issues pervades every work. Teague’s intricately detailed paintings depict unsettling pseudo-domestic worlds with little else but the mechanical leftovers of humankind; worlds in which interior spaces are synonymous with construction sites, and where humans are faceless, uniformed entities or fodder for birds.
