Llyr Davies is a painter from Porth Tywyn, South Wales, and has been working in Plymouth, Devon since 2012.

Llyr’s practice draws inspiration from local landscapes, everyday objects and Folklore Tales to create abstract works, capturing the emotional and psychological context of the place, object or tale.

The works go through many stages before they are complete; scraping off and overlaying figurative motifs with gestural mark making is one of the many processes behind his work. Llyr’s works employ an excessive use of colour and texture with various combinations of materials, such as oil paint, spray paint and collage on canvas.
