EMPTY is the pseudonym of the artist Lloyd Gill, who chose that name because of the duality of the word meaning, 'empty vessel, or 'empty emotionally'. EMPTY has been producing work recently on paper, card, canvas and wooden panels. His work allows creativity to take flight and run amok like white water bashing on river stone and every time he paints or draws the work is delivered in an automatism style derivative from Surrealism.
There are several motifs throughout the work and it is up to the viewer to recognise them. EMPTY likes to stay consistent with the work, which is gestural & expressive and uses street art as an influence by painting and drawing angular letters in the 'Wildstyle' method. He often makes cynical remarks of society and technology. Ipads are present, along with various caricatures, and anthropomorphic shapes shift in and out through the various elements. Biological parts, redundant female breasts and bottoms present themselves as an indicator for sexuality. Some works are more suggestive than others, as a representation of the burden of sexuality for both males and females.
The geometry and mathematic symbols articulate an interest in Science and mathematics. The triangles are suggesting movement, energy and help strengthen the composition.
