An engaging and powerful pair of abstract compositions by British contemporary artist Lloyd Durling, painted in oil onto linen board. Each signed, titled and dated 2024 on reverse.
Central to these paintings are an intense engagement with oil on linen that explores 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 paintings are oil on linen board and housed in a complementary walnut stained oak frame. Both the paintings and frames are in excellent condition. Each one of these is a one-off unique hand painted piece, so the pair will be available until any one of the pieces is purchased individually. If you prefer to buy an individual piece, you can do so here.
Size: Each one measures 50 x 40 cm (including frame)
