Roy Turner Durrant (4 October 1925 – 4 July 1998)
This is a beautiful example of his work, his use of light and shadow are reflected in his use of grey hues which would fit into any modern interior.

Durrant was a 20th-century English abstract artist, born in Lavenham, Suffolk, England on 4 October 1925. He had a love of drawing from an early age which continued as a driving force throughout his life. His lifelong motto (which he inscribed on the fly leaf of many a volume of his childhood library) was "ars longa, vita brevis" ("art is never ending, life is short") he was a prolific artist!
Durrant's works have been collected by public galleries, universities and colleges worldwide and interest in his work both in Britain and overseas has continued since his death in 1998. There have been several retrospective exhibitions of Durrant's work since his death, including a one-man show at the Fine Art Society in New Bond Street London in May 2008. Roy Turner Durrant (1925–1998), a book about Durrant, was published in September 2011.[5]
