Artist's
statement: These works demonstrate
my enthusiasm for extraordinary colour, movement and detail. I am permanently
devoted to the influence and power of colour - Its colossal presence in nature,
its mystifying existence in science and its remarkable authority over our lives.
From a shadowed skin tone to an advertiser's logo, colour can become offensive,
unsuitable, or uncanny; intense, seductive and mesmerising. I like to report and
present colour from within a real existence, where texture and form assist the
description. The objects I employ are of great importance. They are the vehicles
of explanation, there to convince the viewer. It is the foils, the fabrics, and
the flesh that help to satisfy; folding, reflecting, disappearing. These objects
are often desirable, covetable, eerie and intriguing - demanding attention.

Vincent Lloyd
Artist's
statement: ' In these works, I have
been responding to aspects of the landscape around us; whether it be to the architecture
of radio masts, transmitting stations and motorway bridges or to health and safety
signs, or to carrier bags stuck in trees. I am a visual artist and consumer, not
a campaigner. I am interested in how things look. But I would say that growing
up in Peene in Kent and witnessing the transformation of the landscape brought
about by the construction of the channel tunnel has influenced my work' www.vincentlloyd.co.uk
