Gareth Lloyd

Gareth Lloyd is a British artist of Welsh origin, active since 1985. His work connects with a generation of British Artists that had a critical relation to 1960's Pop Art. In his works he dialogues with Mallarmé's poetry, as well as with the ideas of the Mexican poet Octavio Paz. Gareth Lloyd studied technical and industrial drawing at Berkshire College of Art and did post-graduate art studies at St Martin´s School of Art. His initial doctoral research at the University of London with Marian Hobson brought him into contact with the philosophical work of Jacques Derrida. Dialogue and the disjunction of images are the key themes explored. Exhibitions include one man shows in London: Riverside studios, Madrid: Calle Velasquez and New York: Empire State Lobby. Essays include: 'Leaving the 20th Century' by Jeremy Reed (writer) and 'Towards an Aesthetic of Dissent' by professor María Esther Maciel. A permanent display exploring the life of Buddha, seen as a series of disjunctions and dialogues, can be found at Wat Thamkrabok the 'cave of learning monastery' in central Thailand.
