David Henty L.S. Lowry

David Henty’s collection after L. S. Lowry brings together atmospheric scenes of everyday life in towns, villages and industrial settings. Figures gather in busy streets, cross footbridges and walk beside dogs, while factories, shops, parks and winter landscapes provide distinctive backdrops. Painted in oils, predominantly on board with selected works on canvas, these original paintings by Henty interpret Lowry’s familiar subjects and visual style. Most are intimate, small-scale compositions, complemented by medium and large works that give the crowds and surrounding architecture greater scope. Presented in a variety of traditional and contemporary frames, the collection ranges from quiet encounters and solitary walkers to lively urban gatherings and scenes filled with characteristic human and animal detail.
