John Lawrence
John Lawrence (b.1934) - Signed 20th Century Oil, Rural Winter Landscape

About the Item

An exquisite landscape from English painter John Lawrence. 'Impressionistic and of the moment’, is how Lawrence describes his work, and this atmospheric oil definitely fits the bill. Depicting a rural winter scene with farm cottage and outbuildings; the large tree is the main focus of the composition, placed slightly off centre. Lawrence's' instantly recognisable style and eye for detail makes this one of his best, and understated artworks. The viewer is able trace Lawrence's' movement and thought process through the quick and light brush strokes, which are visible in the visceral oil paint. His use of layering and expressive mark making gives a depth and perspective to the landscape, as the eye is continually drawn to numerous areas of interest. Lawrence, a member of the Free Painters & Sculptors, has shown at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool and at the Manchester City Art Gallery. He held a solo exhibition at the Trafford Gallery, London in 1970. This wonderful piece is well presented in a gilt frame with material slip. Signed. On board.

His artwork appeared as weekly full page adverts in many national newspapers. Interestingly, Lawrence was the illustrator of the original 'Big Ben' logo that appears on HP Sauce – an adaptation of which can still be seen on sauce bottles today. In later life Lawrence decided to focus on his oil painting and under the tuition of the artist Eddie Franklin, Lawrence was encouraged to develop his painting style.
