THIS WEEK OUR FEATURED ARTIST IS ALY LLOYD
Aly Lloyd is a contemporary artist, working from her Cotswold studio, examining the interplay between geometric abstraction and organic shapes, using the figure and themes of identity, human experience and femininity to challenge conventional boundaries in painting.
Playing with the processes of digital image processing and the tactility of paint, she manipulates across mediums to create images with a fresh, bold style which pushes acrylic painting out of its traditional space.
Using acrylic paint, a medium suited to her fast-paced, intuitive process, blending it with the precision and intricacy of digital manipulation, Aly has developed a distinctive voice, which can be felt across the breadth of her work. Whether choosing to work in monochrome, dazzling colour or muted tones, this blurring of lines, of modern and traditional, virtual and physical, sings through.
Her works speak to life experiences, identity and memory while using abstraction - colour and shape - to explore ideas over narratives. The resulting pieces have a touch of the enigmatic, but being decidedly human in their sentiment, they connect with the viewers' sense of what it is to be living in the modern world, where we all live in a space occupied by both the real and the imagined, the physical and the digital.
Aly has been a finalist in multiple awards, exhibited nationally and featured in many publications. Her studio is open to appointments, and you can find out more about her practice, where to see her work and purchase her originals and prints over on her portfolio. Follow the link below!
