This contemporary portrait was completed as part of a series of portraits of writers. As a writer myself (I've authored more than 20 books, most recently - October 26, 2023 - The Lock-In, available on Amazon) I produced portraits of Robert Burns, Conal Doyle, Agatha Christie, Mary Shelly, George Orwell and most recently Edgar Allan Poe. The original pictures are now sold, though currently available as limited-edition prints throughout galleries in the UK, with Poe recently completed as a compliment to the originals. My style, especially regarding the writer portraits, has moved on since the original commissions and the Poe portrait is a unique offering. As my favourite of the set, I'm particularly pleased with its more muted tones and solid bearing. A little larger than the others, Poe comands a dominant pose in any room he resides.

United Kingdom
Tony’s work is influenced by German Expressionism, the Scottish figurative tradition and the Northern Art movement. He has always been a storyteller—in words and pictures—but an early ambition to paint was shelved after unexpected success as a novelist. A six-book deal with the world’s largest publisher, Penguin Random House, led to Irvine Welsh calling Tony his “favourite British crime writer”. Frustration with the mainstream book world, and forays into historical and literary fiction, only revealed the limitations of the form and didn’t quell Tony’s urge to pursue his visual art more fully. He now paints every day, following an instinctive style that, although at odds with the rigid pre-planning of his novel writing, seems to draw on many deep-rooted aspects of it. Tony’s painting routine relies heavily on tapping into the unconscious by allowing the brush to lead the way, which kicks off a stream of images he then shepherds into a coherent whole. Many of the images recur from picture to picture, like characters in a novel, building a narrative of their own. Tony exhibits with a wide range of galleries in the UK and abroad and his work is held in collections throughout the world. www.tonyblackarts.co.uk
