The Atrium

Sold

SOLD

An outstanding mid-century modernist style interior scene that has an abstract architectural composition, executed in oil.

The scene seems to depict an atrium with archways, columns, and perhaps a staircase, rendered in simplified, geometric forms. The composition is fragmented, with intersecting lines and overlapping planes that create a sense of depth and movement. At the right foreground, we can also spot a figure is entering the room.

The colour palette is muted and cohesive, dominated by soft greys, blues and green. The artist has used these subdued shades to convey a calm atmosphere, with the occasional pop of a slightly warmer hue adding subtle contrast. The repeated use of colours draws attention to the shapes and the structure itself rather than vivid detail.

The brushwork is expressive yet controlled, with broad blocky strokes that emphasise form over detail. Each section is carefully delineated, showing a balance between abstraction and structure.

This oil is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Thoughts in Blue

Sold

SOLD

An engaging and powerful abstract composition by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen board. Signed, titled and dated 2024 on reverse.

Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.

The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.

This oil on linen board is housed in a complementary walnut stained oak frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Untitled

Sold

SOLD

A unique abstract collograph by contemporary British artist Frances Daws, executed with carbon black oil on fabriano printmaking paper, and beautifully presented in a double card mount with blue detail, within a gilt frame.

This collograph is described as such because the base of the plate is cardboard rather than metal. Frances would have started with a shiny surface, carving away to reveal the matt surface underneath. This is an intaglio method where the ink stays within the recess, once the plate is sealed and inked up it is then printed through a press; a heavy metal roller on a flat bed. The pressure transfers the print onto dampened paper. With this particular print Frances used papers and texture to add colour while the plate was printed in carbon black oil based ink on fabriano printmaking paper. She decided to only print this plate once which is why it’s a 1/1 , making it entirely unique.

Frances Daws is a British Artist working in the Southwest of England. Primarily a painter she also works within printmaking. Having lived by the English coastline and now residing within the countryside her work is often formed by ‘colour journeys’ a form of mapping the landscape through the emotive language of colour.
