Tiny figures cross the broad foreground, many with their eyes lowered as they make their way past the shop windows and terraced rooftops. For all the people in the street, there is a quiet distance between them. Sean Durkin catches both the familiar rhythm of a northern town and the private thoughts its passers-by seem to carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSean's connection to L.S. Lowry began with a remarkable morning in childhood. He woke to find a Lowry painting on the family mantelpiece, stolen from a Middlesbrough gallery by his father, John Durkin. John's ransom demands were as unexpected as the theft: better gallery security, Sunday opening so working people could enjoy the art, and the Mayor's underpants raffled for charity. The painting stayed with Sean long after it was returned, helping inspire his own affectionate, humorous portraits of northern life. Look closely for the burglar in his striped top and the policeman, recurring characters that carry a little of that family story into Sean's scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinue through Sean's northern streets in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-heart-of-the-town-limited-edition-print-by-sean-durkin\"\u003eThe Heart of the Town\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/last-orders-on-union-street-limited-edition-print-by-sean-durkin\"\u003eLast Orders on Union Street\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ednas-baps-limited-edition-print-by-sean-durkin\"\u003eEdna's Baps\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by C\u0026amp;D Fine Art.
