Porthcawl, Near Bridgend

CF36 3YW

My name is Richard Lloyd.
Born in Bridgend in 1962, but have lived in Leeds, West Yorkshire since
1998.
I have a stammer but this has never stopped me getting what I want out of
life. The British Stammering Association has been so supportive of me over the
years. I now work for West Yorkshire Police, after caring for the elderly and
those with learning difficulties for most of my adult life.
I am happily married with children and a menagerie of pets.
Photography has been my 1st and only interest since I was a young lad who
tried to photograph ants !! My father lives in Porthcawl and in 2009 I cycle all the way from Leeds to
his house in time for his 70th birthday. This exhibition is dedicated to Jean Lewis, a much missed friend and a lady
who supported me all the way with my interest in photography.

19th – 27th Jan 2012

£10 per person or £15 for two per couple

The Gallery

Cork Street,
28 Cork Street,
London,
W1S 3NG.

ART EROTICA 2012 exhibition is held in support of FPA sexual health
charity, appreciating erotic art for a worthy cause.

FPA wants to see fewer unwanted pregnancies in the UK, lower rates of
sexual infection and wants more parents able to talk to their children about
growing up and relationships.

Both the Association of Erotic Artists and Guild of Erotic Artists firmly
believe that the road to acceptance of the erotic arts as a genre rests
within education, operating good business practice and in no way affiliated
to the exploitation industry.

I am exhibiting a groundbreaking installation piece at this exhibition
that requires the participation of the viewer. It is an unusual piece as it
combines the solitariness of painting with the participation of an
installation piece.

More info on my piece:

VOTE is located under a staircase. It engages directly with visitors,
requiring their active participation, with a clear set of bureaucratic
instructions reading:

Using the small sheets of paper provided, either:

*Write down what you want me (the artist) to paint for you, & slip it into
the first ballot box, to your right.

OR

*Write down what you yourself want to paint, & slip it into the second
ballot box, to your left. Then feel free to use the paints and brushes
provided to paint onto the canvas.

The installation contains visual and physical tricks, which are only
realised once the visitor actively engages with the piece, with the

Parallax AF grew out of an international exhibition called “Parallax”
that was conceived and curated by the art historian and theorist Dr Chris
Barlow.

Parallax AF is different from other artists’ fairs in that it is like a
specialised exhibition. It is a serious platform for international and
national artists to present their work to national and international
dealers, art industry people, collectors, critics and buyers without
commission charges. This also provides artists with the benefit, if they
wish, to present non-commercial work, or to try out new commercial ideas,
without high overhead risks often associated with other fairs.

Hove BN3 3YS UK

Venue 17 on this year’s Hove Arts Trail as part of the Brighton Festival, Gary Jones will be showing his vibrant pop paintings and prints, while Funky Red Dog – the number one dog-loving street artist – promises ‘artwork that bites’, including his iconic ‘dogheads’ (and plenty more).

All the work shown is very affordable from huge paintings on canvas and works on paper down to tiny little fridge magnets.
