| Biography |
| Roy Turner Durrant 1925-1998 was born in Suffolk, England and studied at Camberwell immediately after WWII and emerged as one of that second generation of Neo-Romantic painters, post Sutherland and Piper with artists such as Craxton, Vaughan, Pasmore, Minton and Alan Reynolds as his contemporaries. And rather like Reynolds in particular, and perhaps as Pasmore had a year or two earlier, through the later 1950s he would move in his work from an increasingly stylised representation of the landcape towards abstraction. With the later, simpler abstract works of the 1970s, there remains always a strong feel for surface and texture, closer in spirit perhaps to the work of painters such as William Scott, Patrick Heron. |
