about the artist

Born in 1972 in Devon, England, Jayson Lilley is a British Contemporary artist who incorporates the practices of painting, collage and printmaking. He is recognised for producing works of urban scenes and iconic architecture. With influences coming from Japanese Ukiyo-e and constructivism, Jayson has great admiration for the work of Katsushika Hokusai and Alexander Rodchenko.

the story

For Jayson Lilley, time is a constant creative companion – a quiet muse that shapes both his process and the spirit of his work. Every piece, whether intimate in scale or boldly expansive, begins with one of his own photographs of London, each image capturing the city at a specific moment and preserving it as a kind of urban time capsule. From there, Jayson reinterprets these scenes through layers of ink drawing, spray paint, and metallic leaf, allowing time to unfurl again through new textures and perspectives. In his recent work, he pushes this exploration further by printing on objects already rich with their own histories – vintage pound notes, London A–Z maps, Ladybird books, and even Monopoly boards – transforming each surface into a dialogue between past and present. Through these playful yet reflective choices, Jayson reveals time not only as subject, but as material, collaborator, and ever-shifting lens.
