Biography
Objects in Suspension
Lloyd Durling, based in London, had his first international solo show at Golden, Chicago, USA, in 2010. He has exhibited in London and widely throughout Europe, Asia and the USA. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Lloyd's works are held in public and private collections worldwide, including the Whitworth Art Gallery and Museum, Progressive collection, America and Nomura Bank, Japan.
Lloyd Durling's current body of work uses mixed medium with oil stick, oil pastel and graphite, with which he explores the interface between painting, drawing and collage. These materials are used as the ground for a series of paintings where texture is as important as colour in the play between the surfaces of paper and the various densities of paint. Topographical themes are central to this work and explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with the environment. This gathering of information during urban and rural wandering feeds into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories. All of these elements provide a rich source for Lloyd's compositions.
