Aly Lloyd is a British contemporary painter whose work represents a unique blend between expressive figurative depictions and contrasting geometric abstractions. Her work is a self-expressive and reflective practice, and her subjects, whilst carrying an air of anonymity, typically characterise ethereal symbols of female strength and resilience alongside the juxtaposition of fragility and often melancholy.

​Central to her practice is the exploration of the relationship between free-flowing natural form and the fixed lines, angles and points of mathematical shape. She views these visual assets as inexplicably intertwined and fundamental structures of the natural vs man-made world, yet often existing just beyond our conscious perception. Her work allows us to consider these in forefront of our awareness and her compositions aim to strike a balance between these competing foregrounds and backgrounds – neither one visually overpowering us nor able to exist without the other.

Aly was born in the Forest of Dean (Gloucestershire, England) in 1990. She is self-taught, although has been painting and drawing from a young age. She spent her early years painting alongside academic pursuits in Psychology and studied to a PhD level, before working as a behavioural analyst in the fashion industry. She considers her continuous journey to deconstruct the natural world as being central to her artistic influence, and has now turned her eye to exploring this through the canvas.
