Dion Salvador Lloyd

Dion Salvador Lloyd, born in Brighton in 1967 is known predominantly for his landscapes. He is a prolific, self-taught painter with peaks of inspiration and bursts of creativity, working in hotspots and purple patches that gives his work its energy and dynamism. His disciplined work ethic means he is always busy, developing and moving between medium and scales and subject matter, intuitively changing and developing his languages of paint and painting. The character and confidence of his paintings has shifted as his journey has unfolded, each exhibition of his work has grown in both subtlety and power. All around him in his home and his studio are scattered remnants and objects collected from places he has been and journeys he has taken, sources of inspiration and insights into his nature. Dion is drawn to the history of natural things, their stories and mysteries. He is driven by this connection with the world around him, using painting as a way of telling us who he is, expressing those elusive things that can’t be put into words.

In 2017 he achieved the distinction of his paintings being selected and hung in each of the Royal Academies in the UK and had two paintings selected for the Royal Society of British Painters exhibition at the Mall Galleries in 2018. Dion Salvador Lloyd is also represented by several prestigious galleries in London and the UK with an ever-growing profile of successful solo exhibitions. Sam Lock 2018
