1925 - 1998
Roy Turner Durrant was born in Lavenham, Suffolk and studied at Camberwell School of art under Pasmore and Keith Vaughan. He was a member of the New English Art Club and exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and many London galleries. From the 1950’s his work moved from figurative to an increasingly abstract style which he described as ‘by-products of an inquisition primarily concerned not with what the eye sees but with what the intellect and emotion experience’.
