Contemporary British Abstract Oil Painting "Collected Fictions", Lloyd Durling

Collected fictions. Size: 20 X 15 cm (including frame) Oil on linen panel. A small but powerful abstract composition by british artist lloyd durling, painted in oil linen panel. Signed, titled and dated 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. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
