Kit Boyd follows in the British romantic tradition, creating landscapes from his imagination which are inspired by real places such as the rolling hills and lanes of mid-Wales. Bordering on the surreal, his pathways lead you away from mundane reality into his strange yet familiar world. Green men and folkloric creatures appear often in his work. Kit works from his studio overlooking the Thames Barrier in London. He exhibits widely across the UK, and has recently been creating commissions for English Heritage and the train stations on the Darent Valley line in Kent.
