Lloyd Durling

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. 

Topographical themes are central to Durling’s practice and 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 or rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined.” Durling explains, “These feed into a deep connection with place and landscape, mystic arrangements of stone, wall paintings, light and shadow, turf mazes, strange geometries of ancient worship and forgotten histories – all these elements find a way into the work.”
