AJ Sidford is a Welsh contemporary artist known for their works in bold, highly textural expressionalist painting. Grounded in a fascination with faded glory and decomposition that is rooted in their childhood, growing up autistic in a dilapidated seaside town on the South Wales coast. AJ continues to push the material boundaries of paint through meticulous layering, abrasive textures, and the addition of three dimensional elements to create their own personal and nuanced language of painting.
