  • Vivid Lake

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A bold and intensely coloured mid century modernist oil composition on canvas, painted in 1962.

  • Coffee Pot & Fruit

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking mid century modernist still life in oil, painted in 1951.

    This vivid and textured still life depicts a group of fruit, including a pineapple, orange and lemon, and a long white coffee pot, set on a table. Expressive and gestural brushwork in rich and saturate colours fill the canvas, creating areas of impasto (where the paint is applied very thickly) which add depth and interest to the painting. This painting would certainly add a pop of colour to space, and would be very well suited to a kitchen or dining area.

    The painting is housed in really lovely light wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A lively and emotive modernist style landscape painting, executed in oil onto board and painted in 1953.

    The artwork depicts a pathway surrounded by lush crops, that leads up to a red cottage. Leaning towards fauvism, the painting is characterised by an intricate arrangement of rich colours including blues and yellows.

  • Gentil

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A soothing mid century lake landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Soft pastel colours have been applied in an expressive manner, creating a composition of a calming lake scene. There is almost a watercolour-like effect, where the artist has managed to very skilfully capture the reflective nature of the water. The artist has also captured the effect of light and movement in the landscape, giving us the sense that he has painted the picture ‘en plein air’ (the practice of painting a picture outdoors).

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame which complements it beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Reading

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly painted mid century figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.

    This artwork depicts a male figure dressed in blue, lying downwards with his hand resting on his cheek, as he reads a book.

    The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos as the artist has deconstructed this everyday scene down to geometric forms as well as contrasting colours to create a sense of depth and space.

    The respective geometric shapes have been defined by black outlines as well as expressive diagonal brushstrokes, which further emphasises each individual form and elevates the painting’s overall uniqueness.

    This oil on board is housed in its original mid-century gilt frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some age wear to the inner border but this is in keeping with its overall style and does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Red Houses on a Hill

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking and atmospheric mid-century modernist landscape painting, executed in oil onto canvas.

    Depicting red houses on a hilly landscape, there is a beautiful colour contrast to the top and bottom half of the painting – with calm lighter shades of white and blue used to depict the sky at the top, and moody darker shades used to depict the houses and landscape at the bottom half of the painting. In each section, the artist has skilfully mixed and layered respective shades to form this stunning composition.

    There is an expressiveness in the way in which the artist has painted this scene – with powerful brushstrokes sweeping across the canvas in an almost forceful manner, leaving a smooth yet textured finish on the surface.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning wide-profiled wood frame with visible grains. The painting has some areas of paint loss which are visible in the photos, although this paint loss looks almost intentional due to the style of the painting, so does not in any way detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The frame is in very good vintage condition.

  • Red Wall

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A vivid and confidently executed large mid century modernist interior scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This quaint interior composition has an array of wonderful details and patterns – two paintings sit on a vivid red wall, and in front of that is a table covered in a red striped tablecloth, with two chairs next to it. Atop the table we see a range of objects, including a tray of jugs and a vase of flowers. Interestingly, the two chairs face the us (the viewers), creating a picture that seems to invite us in to join the jolly that is about to begin.

    This expressionist and richly coloured painting is housed is in its original mid-century wide profile frame that pairs beautifully with the painting.  The artwork is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some surface marks but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness and is in keeping with its overall look and style.

  • Rising Blue

    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 this painting 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.

    To purchase the set of 4 seen in the photo at a group price, click here.

     

    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.

  • Study of a Standing Nude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic modernist style portrait, painted in oil and dated 1964.

    A nude figure is depicted standing on a muted pink platform and against a calming blue background. With her gaze slightly turned, she is back-facing the viewer and caught unaware.

    The artist demonstrates a great aptitude for painting the female body, as he skillfully captures the curves and angles of the figure.

    He has also used artistic techniques of shading and shadowing. These not only add the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality to the painting, but to direct our eyes as the viewer to the focal point of the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning grainy wood frame with a double silver window and an inner linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Crowd

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and confidently executed mid century semi abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this scene we see four main figures amongst a blur of people – the artist has left out realistic details, and focused instead on colour, form and texture. Broad, gestural brushstrokes in non representational colours fill the canvas, creating this expressionist composition. There is a distinct sense of movement in the background, with the 4 figures standing out within it, almost as if it could be a recollection of a memory or dream.

    The surface is heavily textured, with areas of heavy impasto where the paint has been very thickly applied.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, with an inner linen lined border. There is some minor craquelure to the painting (as shown in close ups), due to the thickness of the paint. But the paint layer is stable overall. There is some minor scuffing to the frame. Neither of these signs of ageing detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

    The painting is housed in a very well crafted mid century frame that has woven jute lining and gilt borders. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has a scuff to the lower left of the inner window (as shown in the close up), but is otherwise in very good condition.

  • The Yellow Chair

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A simple but very intriguing modernist composition in oil, painted into canvas and dated 1970.

    This expressionist painting has transformed what would normally be a mundane object (a chair) into a very striking vision. The empty chair is given pride of place in the forefront of the composition, painted in a bright yellow colour. Set against a whitewashed wall, this contrast again emphasises the chair and its striking yellow. There is also a very interesting juxtaposition between the decorative and regal looking door or window which is adorned with flowers and gilding, next to the simple and functional rustic chair.

    This playful painting is set within a simple wood frame which suits it very well. Both frame and painting are in good vintage condition.

  • Waterfall

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very confidently executed mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1964.

    This distinctly expressionist piece is characterised by free, gestural brushwork, and the paint application is generous and highly textured. Each area of colour appears distinct but yet flows seamlessly into the next, creating this very harmonious composition. The painting has a lot of depth, with several areas of impasto, where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface.

    Although its subject appears to be entirely abstract, there is a sense that the natural landscape is the source of inspiration.

    The painting is housed in a very unique and textured grey frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • A Melody

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A lyrical and emotive mid 20th century still life painting, executed in oil onto canvas. The composition depicts an elegant display of a violin, a musical sheet, 2 fruits and glass objects placed atop a table.

    Large broad diagonal brushstrokes fill the background and foreground of the canvas in an expressive and rhythmic manner –  almost resembling the visual melody of the violin playing, as well as the artist’s passion for music.

    A muted darker pastel palette comprising shades of purple, blue and pink have been used, imbuing the work with both a soft yet dramatic feel that is aligned to its melodic qualities.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, that complements the work very well. The frame has slight markings and scuffs, but this is very minor.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A calm and tranquil coastal scape composition, painted in oil onto board.

    In this miniature painting, two sailboats with long masts are depicted at sea and near a coastline.

  • Plate with Pansies

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life in oil, depicting a group of objects on a table including a glass of purple flowers, a plate, and apples.

  • Triptych

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1950.

    This striking abstract composition features a very loose relationship to the visible world. Instead, it forces the viewer to focus on the qualities of form, line, colour, brushwork and composition.

    What loosely appears to be an interior scene has been schematised and simplified into geometric shapes and gestural marks. Yet even though it is largely divorced from recognisable reality, the forms within this picture are still expressive and have the power to stir aesthetic emotion.
