  • East and Beyond

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to these paintings is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite 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. 

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition. 

    Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.

  • Onlooker

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lovely mid century oil on board depicting a homely setting, with a standing female figure.

    We see only the back of the figure, who stands looking out the window, with a chair next to her that she is leaning on. There is a sense that she is waiting for something or someone, perhaps the safe arrival of someone close to her. Other than the greenery outside the window, we can’t see what she sees, giving the painting an air of mystery and intrigue. What has she seen? What is she waiting for?

    The artist has used a very earthy palette in the execution of this painting, giving it a very homely, warm feel. The paint has been applied in an expressive manner. with lots of texture and depth.

    This oil on board is housed in a lovely grainy wood frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is in good vintage condition, and there are minor scuffs to the frame.

  • Red Man

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A well executed mid century oil on canvas depicting a standing figure.

    A simple yet very effective composition – the artist draws our attention to form, line and texture. We see a rust coloured silhouette of a figure, set against a similarly sanguine background. The surface is very much textured with areas of impasto as a result of the artist’s use of a palette knife. We can discern his technique and the way in which he has chosen to layer the paint, giving this painting quite a raw effect. The scale of the figure is striking, as is the colour in which it has been painted, which has a clay like quality to it.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a gilt frame with red undertones which draws out the colours of the painting well. The painting is in good vintage condition, and there are minor scuffs to the frame.

  • Terrene

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    An excellently executed mid century abstract oil, framed in its original wood frame.

    Expressive brushwork is combined with areas of sgraffito (where the artist has used a tool to scratch into the paint) creating a range of textures as well as varying levels of depth. The restrained colour palette as well as discernible differences in methods of paint application give this painting its very raw, organic quality. Despite its abstract composition, we get a sense that the artist was inspired a connection to the natural landscape and terrain.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame, which complements it excellently. This oil painting has been executed on a canvas sheet, that has been laid on board. Although the edges of the canvas are visible, the painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs, commensurate with age.

  • The Quiet Season

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A beautiful and picturesque mid century landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A set of farmhouses line the middle of the composition, surrounded by a cold winter landscape. To the foreground is a wonderful layering and texturing of dark and white paint, perfectly capturing the essence of the snow covered ground. These bold, expressive brushstrokes contrast starkly with the winter trees, whose leafless branches have been painted with a much lighter hand. There is a stillness and quietness to this crisp, cold winter landscape painting that gives a lovely sense of calm.

    This oil on canvas is housed in an outstanding wide profile silver frame that really enhances the painting overall. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are minor scuffs to the frame.

  • Expanse

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but impactful modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil onto board.

    All realistic details have been omitted in this semi-abstract painting, drawing our attention instead to painterly elements such as shape, form, brushstroke and colour.

    Trees and rolling terrains have been reduced down to flat planes of contrasting pastel shades of greens, blues and orange, that imbue the work with an overall sense of softness.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary grainy wood frame, that has some minor areas of paint marks.

  • The Vineyard

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly striking and large mid century oil landscape, painted onto canvas and framed in a simple wood frame.

    Reminiscent of compositions by the very well known Modernist painter Paul Cezanne, this painting features similar brushstrokes that are ever shifting, overlapping, and breaking apart before coming back together again. The artist has used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. He showcases his adept skills and proficiency with a palette knife, creating beautiful patterns and layers of blended and unblended colour with his tool.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

  • Abstract City

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but outstanding mid 20th century oil painting of a cityscape, painted in an abstract manner.

    The artist has skilfully abstracted the city containing  buildings, foliage and a river down through the use of contrasting blocks of colours.

    Naturalistic shades comprising muted earthy tones of beige, green and blue fill the canvas; and the distribution of contrasting colours not only demonstrate a strong sense of depth to this painting, but make the work well balanced.

    Broad and expressive textured brushstrokes have been confidently executed, creating a raw textural effect and enhancing the painting overall.

    This gorgeous oil on canvas would certainly stand out in any interior, whether traditional or modern.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Devotion

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is large and heavy, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do.

    An endearing portrait of a mother and child, in an interior setting.

    This artwork captures a tender moment of a mother lovingly looking after her baby, who is placed on her lap.

    The selection of earthy colours imbues the work with a sense of warmth and a calming aesthetic, that further enhances the emotions in this scene.

    The artist has selected brown as the main colour of choice for this well-decorated home setting – whereby the floor, table, chair, and cupboards are of the same colour. Despite this restrained palette, by skilfully contrasting and layering a range of shades, as well as utilising diverse brushstrokes, the artist has managed to bring out the different forms beautifully in this picture.

    Just look at the way the fine close-grain pattern on the hardwood of the cupboards have been rendered with soft and precise brushstrokes – simply stunning!

    The artwork is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a beautiful gilt frame with greyish-green and linen linings, as well as ornate mouldings. There are visible hairline cracks on the ornate mouldings (as shown in the images). This is a common occurrence for a frame of this age, but all parts are well in place.

  • Even

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A subtle and sombre mid-century abstract painting, rendered in oil.

    Horizontal planes of neutral colours painted with light sweeping brushstrokes lay across the canvas so harmoniously, enriching the painting with a calming and soothing aesthetic.

    Despite its abstract nature, the colour palette and composition of this stunning work could allude to a scene of wetlands on a cold and misty winter’s day.

    This oil on canvas is in overall good vintage condition. There are some areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) in the painting. It is housed in a thin grey frame, that has some minor marks and scuffs.

  • Evening Walk

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An energetic and picturesque landscape on a cool blue summer’s day. The painting depicts rows of colourful buildings, and a bridge passing over a river in a charming city.

    Here, the artist has rendered rich and vibrant colours, that wonderfully capture the liveliness of the city.

    Painted in an impressionist manner, swift and spontaneous brushstrokes are evident, with each brush mark visible and distinct.

    Furthermore, the way the artist has captured the reflection of the building on the water surface with a painterly pattern of rhythmic strokes is simply outstanding.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. There are some areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint), that are not obvious unless inspected up close. It is housed in a robust wooden frame with a white inner lining. The frame has multiple areas of chips and paint loss commensurate for its age (as shown in the pictures).

  • Greenery

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A rich and wonderfully textured mid-century abstract landscape painting, executed in oil.

    Painted in an abstract manner, blocks of earthy greens in varying shades fill the foreground of the canvas, resembling lush foliage in a forest.

    The artist displays his painterly skills – executing bold and scribble-like brushstrokes so confidently, instilling a textural as well as energetic feel to this outstanding painting.

    This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. It is housed in a simple wood frame that has minor scuffs.

  • Home

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A  large and well executed mid century landscape in oil, painted on canvas.

    A large cottage centres the composition, with other outbuildings surrounding it, flanked by green trees. This cottage is probably located by the sea, as on the right side we can see the tops of masts of docked boats.

    This panoramic landscape is wonderfully calm and tranquil, with its expansive layout in deep blues and greens. Its long horizontal layout and restful composition would make it the perfect piece to hang above a bed. The painting has a thoroughly soothing effect.

    The painting is housed in its original light wood mid century frame with a wide linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some ageing commensurate with age and widening to corner joints.

  • Mother & Baby Boy

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Part of our ‘family series’ collection, this mid century oil has been painted onto board and depicts a mother with a bowl, feeding a baby boy.

    A depiction of the wonderful (albeit sometimes frustrating) everyday scene of feeding a young child, which is familiar to anyone who has had a young baby. A mother sits close to her child, with the bowl of food set out and her baby in front of her.

    The artist has captured this everyday scene beautifully, using a vivid and bold colour palette, and incorporating areas of thick impasto for added effect and three dimensionality. The features of the figures have been left out, focusing instead on the shape and form of the figures and the bowl, giving this painting a timelessness, which coincides beautifully with the ‘timelessness’ of raising children and all that comes with it.

    This oil painting is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century frame that has some scuff and general wear, commensurate with age. However, this does not detract from its overall appeal.

  • The White Village

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Free UK Shipping.

    A very large and impactful mid century oil, painted on canvas. Painted with a modernist ethos, the artist has used flat planes of contrasting colour to create a sense of space and depth. Realistic details have been intentionally left out, and the artist has chosen to focus instead on shape, form and colour. Two figures stand in front of a group of village houses, which are flanked by trees on either side. The composition is very well balanced and a real pleasure to admire, both from afar and close up, offering layers of complexity both in terms of colour and structure.

    This wonderful painting is framed in its original large mid century frame, with a hessian lined outer section and an inner silver window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs to the inner silver section.

  • Winter Path

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A simple yet captivating mid-century winter landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    A restrained palette of mellow tones have been used, capturing the solitude and cold of the season.

    Although the snow-filled pathway forms a large proportion of this picture, our eyes are drawn to the top right corner of the painting upon first glance. These darker shades of the trees first capture our attention, as our eyes then shift focus downwards of the painting as the colours transition to lighter shades.

    The artist has worked with the paint dynamically, as the textured painterly brushstrokes add a wonderful raw and textual quality to the overall composition.

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame, which suits it very well.

  • In Nature

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully textured mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1962.

    The artist has used thick layers of blended colour to build up this expressive composition. Areas of impasto (where the paint stands proud from the surface) can be seen across the surface of the canvas, giving it a three dimensional and sculptural effect. As we scan the picture, we can almost feel the artist working with his paint, applying thick viscous layers of oil with his brush and blending them together. This painterly style celebrates the medium of oil –  artist is revelling in the manipulation of the oil paint itself and making the fullest use of its sensuous properties.

    The painting is housed in a very complementary light wood frame with an inner white window. The painting has an area of light craquelure to the top left section (as shown in photos), but the paint is stable overall.

    Size: 58.5 x 74.5 cm (including frame)

  • Man with Pipe

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A monumental and brilliantly executed mid century portrait in oil, painted on to canvas.

    Painted in an expressionist manner, the artist captures the sitter poignantly. A refined gentleman sits at a table smoking his pipe. His surroundings have been left abstract – there is no sense of time, space or context. Each brush stroke in this large piece has been carefully considered, applied to the canvas with purpose. Every contrasting tone has its role to play, creating a sense of depth within the picture. The composition is a feast for the eyes – our eyes are encouraged to flitter and dance across the canvas surface, taking in the colours, the sitters features, the background.

    This piece would be a stand out piece in any interior, due to both its size and its excellent execution.  The piece is housed in a silver frame which complements it beautifully. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

    Size: 92 x 73 cm (including frame)

  • Stay with Me

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An endearing and sentimental painting depicting a pair of birds amidst snow covered branches. The palette depicts a beautiful analogy, where the warmer palette used to paint the birds is representative of the warmth of the love between them, which stands out against the cold landscape made up of a white, blue and grey.

    A painting that speaks for love, companionship and support. Painted in 1945.

    Housed in a stunning and very complementary deep gilt frame, both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.
