Lloyd Gill's paintings aim to explore and question the notion of space and our reality of it. Lloyd Gill's fascination with trying to understand the universe, the relationship between spatial dimensions and perception, in conjunction with art and science, has led him to investigate and research some of the most recent and complex of scientific and theoretical ideas. Applying his investigative research and theoretical study, by reflecting and developing them within a visual language, Lloyd hopes to make his paintings, "depict a reality which represents more than three dimensions of space." After successfully completing his Fine Art degree, Lloyd Gill won the Governor's Prize, Student of the Year Award, and the Harry Walker Prize, 2002, at Bath's Victoria Gallery. Exhibiting throughout the UK, including the countries capital and major city galleries, Lloyd Gill now lives and works in Weston Super Mare, UK.

Vincentas presents paintings with a wide range of styles. From naturalistic still life to gestural abstract markmaking; from Surrealist landscape to psychedelic portrait. He is equally at home with each genre. The common factor is that all are oils on canvas. 'The Rag on a Doorpost' is particularly appealing in that here, he manages to infuse the seemingly realistic appearance of an everyday thing with a surreal twist. The shadows are atmospheric and the simple piece of cloth itself comes to life. In luminous lapis blue it is suggestive of the folds of Renaissance drapery. Achieving a thorough investigation of a humble moment, he invests it with a solemn grace.
