Aly Lloyd (b. 1990) is a British artist living and working between London and Painswick. Her work examines interplays between geometric abstraction, structural forms, and organic, free-flowing shapes, creating compositions that challenge visual perceptions. Known for her meticulous approach to painting, she blends digital precision with the tactile nature of paint, merging digital image processing techniques and computational manipulations with traditional painting methods. Through this fusion, Lloyd intentionally challenges conventional boundaries between the virtual and physical, pushing the limits of realism and abstraction. Whilst her compositions are meticulously crafted by hand, this interplay keeps the viewer questioning whether they are experiencing something digitally produced or traditionally made, challenging definitions of both. Lloyd’s work is driven by a deep interest in visual communication and perception, exploring themes of identity, femininity, human experience and memory. Using her distinctive visual language, she utilises tensions created by opposing forces in shape, colour and light, aiming to find a balance that creates a sense of harmony. The resulting compositions are visually stimulating, energetic and structured yet expressive, encompassing geometric order and precision with figurative elements, adding human connection and narrative. Drawing inspiration from daily experiences, personal and found imagery, she primarily works in acrylic, which complements her fast-paced, intuitive process. Her instinct to deconstruct the world into patterns, structure and simplicity reflects both her method of processing reality and her exploration of neurodiversity, seeking balance between logic and emotion. A self-taught artist, Lloyd transitioned from academia to the fashion industry, with a background spanning psychology to data science. She credits this diverse path with forming the basis of her work, blending analytical thinking and visual storytelling with a passion for intellectually and emotionally engaging imagery. She exhibits nationally, has sold work through Sotheby’s and Saatchi Art, and has been featured in multiple publications including Tatler and the World of Interiors. She operates an open studio in the Cotswolds, where private appointments can be booked to view, discuss her work, and see her process of creating. ​​
