Jayson Lilley takes the ordinary aspects of urban life and makes them extraordinary. Lilley grew up in a seaside village in Devon, and countryside influences can be detected in his artworks, as he highlights and exaggerates the scale of expanses of natural space with gold leaf. Lilley’s reproductions of iconic structures, landmarks, and buildings are placed on wide open skies that are created with gold, copper, or platinum leaf. Lilley's pieces begin with the artist taking hundreds of photographs of the city, which are then meticulously patched together. Before turning his hand to printmaking, Lilley spent fifteen years as a book cover designer in London, where his creations achieved an award-winning reputation within the realm of graphic design and advertising. It is clear to see how his professional experience informs his art, from the illustrative approach to the bold colours and limited palette. Lilley’s artwork is now held in collections across the world, from New York to Japan, Hong Kong to Moscow. Jayson has been shortlisted for the Westmorland Landscape Prize and has exhibited widely, including at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition.
We love Jayson’s innovative triaging of silkscreen, painting and collage to create electric compositions that are filled with colour. When prompted about how his love for art came to be, Jayson responded: “I was always making things as a child... not being too academic, I found drawing, painting and creating a lot more fun than reading and writing.” Jayson seeks comfort within his artform, and that seeps through to the viewer; Jayson succeeds in creating landscapes that are full of warmth and familiarity.
