Steven Claydon (b.1969) lives and works in London. His work, using many media painting, sculpture, poster or video, is peopled with nightmarish evocations, reminiscent both of Surrealism and Victorian explorer’s sketchbooks. Yet, his images often have the simple power of symbols. Incongruous and desirable, they suggest the banners of a fictive world, randomly dropped in our reality. Steven Claydon's work also sometimes may reflect aesthetics from the world of music, he was a member of the band Add N to (X) until the group split in 2003.

Steven Claydon has recently shown his work in Time Lines, Kunstverein fur die Rheinlande und Westphalen, Duesseldorf Flies Around the Fury Flotsam, Curators Space, London Odiseado Tra Tempo, Peter Kilchmann Galerie, Zurich, Jack too Jack, live performance, Portikus, Frankfurt and Paris – Londres: Le Voyage Interieur, Espace Electra, Paris. He also showed at Basel Statements in 2005 with Hotel Gallery.
 
He is represented by Hotel Gallery, London; and Dennis Kimmerich Gallery, Dusseldorf.
