    Leslie Duxbury was born in Accrington in 1921, the younger son of a mill worker. He attended the local School of Arts and Crafts before enrolling at the Royal College of Art during the Second World War. For most of his life, Duxbury taught part-time so that he could devote himself to his own work, teaching painting at various London Art Schools: The Borough, Hammersmith, Camberwell, and finally Kingston. One of the less well-known ‘Kitchen Sink’ artists, his paintings and sketches of the 1950s and onwards dealt with familiar working-class subjects: coal miners and workers unions, mothers with children or at work in the mills, and Welsh landscapes.

    In the 1960s he transferred his talents to printmaking, becoming head of the printmaking department at Kingston in 1967 and a senior lecturer in the 1970s, a post he held until his retirement in 1986. He died in October 2001, two weeks after his 80th birthday. His work is held in several national public collections.
    About the work
    About the Work
    Unsigned ink and wash.

    Duxbury would constantly be sketching scenes around him. Even when he was in hospital after hip replacements, he could be seen sketching the hustle and bustle of the ward in his sketchbook.

    Finding inspiration from his working class childhood, miners, mill workers and tenement residents feature throughout his paintings and prints. This influence found him working alongside artists such as Derrick Greaves and Edward Middleditch in the Kitchen Sink School in the 1950s.

    The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.

    Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

    Just received my Kang-hyo Lee teacup. In perfect condition. I’m so happy with it and I think the international service offered by Goldmark is superb. The staff are so kind and extremely efficient and professional.
