Oliver Durey is delighted to announce the launch of his newly rebranded gallery, Larkin Durey, operating under his sole direction and ownership. Originally opened in 2010 as Jack Bell Gallery, ex-partners Jack Bell and Oliver Durey shared over a decade of success together and have now taken the decision to part company to pursue independent ventures.
Larkin Durey remains in its well-loved location of Mason’s Yard, London and continues to strategically evolve its international contemporary program. The gallery’s new name reflects the revised positioning, an ethos of inclusivity where artists and collaborators are an extended family. Family is hugely important and Larkin Durey takes its name from Oliver’s two sons, who share his and his wife’s surnames. His wife, Monica Larkin, has extensive fashion and design experience in the luxury sector and will also be contributing to the development of the gallery’s visual brand presence.
Looking ahead, the gallery aims to strengthen its focus on each artist on the roster, increasing their presence locally, internationally & online. In 2024 the gallery will streamline its fair program building on existing stateside relationships in New York and has ambitions to develop a wider European program in 2025.
Larkin Durey opened with ‘Le Bapteme‘ by Marc Padeu on Thursday 14 March with the artist in attendance from Yaoundé, Cameroon.
