David Gary Lloyd

Artist Statement:

Often responding to beauty in both nature and the human experience, David makes images and objects that have a romantic and mysterious examination on life. His work explores the idea of attractiveness utilizing found natural elements such as plants, decoration and perceived human beauty.

Lloyd’s artworks are conceptually motivated with the way society uses advertising to mold and manipulate our perspective and interaction with the world. By presenting an attractive image, somewhat seductive, he parallel’s marketing strategies used by mainstream media to call upon an audiences direct attention, similar to what one may find in a magazine ad.

In contrast, David showcases elements of beauty within the natural world by highlighting enviormental subject matter. Flowers, Leaves, Landscapes and other flora and fauna are blended though his work as a means to compare what we value as true beauty within our world. Often inspired by long walks in nature, he takes note of subtle details that are easy to overlook, like a glistening raindrop suspended on a spiderweb.

David attended the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), graduating with BFAs in Photography and in Graphic Design with a focus on Advertising.
