I’m a Landscape artist …. Or to be more precise I love the urban skyline. This current collection of works on Vintage Monopoly Boards places me firmly at the intersection of painting, collage & printmaking which is where I’ve been slowly gravitating to and where I’m now very happily staying. “When I was a kid I used to play Monopoly with my family, and mostly it was about cheating my sister out of a few pounds through sneaky dealings with the ‘bank’ (which was usually me) to buy properties I couldn’t afford. I’d never been to London and my shady dealings in Monopoly had painted the city in quite an abstract and cynical way. When I did came to London, I had an inherent knowledge of the nicest (*most expensive*) neighbourhoods, which made me seem like I knew London more intimately than I did. And then as I really did get to know London, my view of the city changed; it was no longer about which neighbourhoods were the most expensive, but which had the most life, best atmosphere (and best bars). This series of Monopoly boards is about the cities I love and how they go beyond their buildings (and the value we place on them), and shape the lives that are lived in them.”

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.
