Tony Lloyd’s paintings of mountain landscapes, endless highways, space exploration and nature portray a timeless and enigmatic world.
Gippsland Art Gallery Director Simon Gregg writes of Lloyd:
“Lloyd’s works are insistently of the here and now – placing us squarely in the present – but speak of time immemorial; of all time. His paintings have a sense of time frozen, and haunt us through their penetrating ambiguity, speaking of nowhere and of no-when."
In ABC TV's The A to Z of Contemporary Art, the critic and broadcaster Dr Andrew Frost commented,
“In these paintings by Tony Lloyd, the artist evokes the uncanny in a collage of visual elements that don’t quite sit together, and that gives the pictures their palpable sense of eeriness. This is the true Other and contemporary art at it’s best.”
