Giles Lyon

Giles Lyon’s comic book abstractions are simultaneously microscopic and macrocosmic. Mixing automatist spills, domestic detritus, and carefully outlined biomorphs, Lyon creates funhouse explosions that reference pop culture and art history as well as biological cycles and intergalactic nebula. Scientific exploration mixed with Kandinsky, Pollock, Guston, Zap Comix and Japanimation are insightfully reconciled to create new relationships between gesture, image, illusion and abstraction.
