Citations:
'If, as Italo Calvino would say, we live in a culture in which the all-powerful media can do nothing but transform the world into images, it is left to the sensibility of artists like Gareth Lloyd to invent new forms of the visual apprehension of the present and extract from them an aesthetics of dissent.'
'Drawing inspiration from the cinema, his prodigious reading, the connecting points between mythic and representational reality, he is an artist working in his time with an alertness to creating configurative patterns from emerging contemporary myths.'
'The paintings of Gareth Lloyd make one inescapable demand - that the viewer be in their presence.'
Paul Ryan Officier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres
