TONY LLOYD All The Time In The World
2 February - 18 March 2012
In his first solo show in Asia, Australian artist Tony Lloyd explores the relationship between natural and constructed worlds through his dramatic paintings. Cultivating a subtle style of photo-realism, Lloyd meticulously captures dark and moody atmospheric scenarios, reminiscent of auteurs of film noir, such as Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch. Manipulating the surfaces of his canvasses to create tonal variations that are thoughtfully observed, Lloyd conjures something more akin to a metaphor, disallowing his images to be fully comprehensible, presenting us instead with individual moments of a greater whole.
