Dylan Lloyd was born in Gravesend, Kent, in 1972 and studied Fine Art at Falmouth School of Art. His studio and garden are located on the Isle of Portland in Dorset. Gardens have been the major focus for his work for 15 years. His paintings are a documentation of growth, change and development of the direct world around him. Their connection with photography is important; the exaggerated depth of field and pixelated elements of the work are reminiscent of photography and carry associations with the recording of time and history. The seemingly exaggerated photographic surface is balanced with a painterly response that suggests a lasting memory of a place rather than merely direct representation. Lloyd’s interest in gardens and plants extend to design, film and photography and he has produced work in response to his garden as well as other contemporary and traditional gardens across the south of England and northern France.
