John Lloyd’s work fizzes with flair and story. In oil and canvas, he creates portraits with striking clarity, each imbued with his own careful research and stylistic taste. Uniquely, he takes a lot inspiration from cinema – from compositional framing, to snippets of fashion from 1950’s classics. Under Lloyd’s eye, the sharp suits and exaggerated smoke from a black and white film can get reinterpreted into a new pictorial form. Retro objects meet candy-coloured backdrops, with each element carefully composed in the way auteur directors such as Wes Anderson prep each film frame. His portraits insightfully capture the character of his sitters, putting to use the power of symbol and collage.
