While his work is of a subject similar to John Constable’s famous landscapes, Loveday’s art takes a grittier, less Romantic approach to the world around him. In Loveday’s atmospheric and enigmatic pictures, the earth becomes a bearer of secrets as well as a reflection of both the dark and the positive memories held within the viewer’s mind.
“Loveday focuses on the lines and colours of landscape that artists usually neglect, leading us to appraise again something that we may have walked by or disregarded as commonplace dozens of times. In his beautiful, tactile works, Loveday shows us the potentially malevolent side of Mother Nature while also imbuing his paintings with the promise of rejuvenation within our natural surroundings.”
