Bo Lanyon’s work engages with the evolving intersection of materiality and experience, merging classical and digital methods to create a hybrid aesthetic of timeless form and sci-fi allure. His recent projects include large-scale commissions: a bronze and wood sculpture for Legal & General’s new headquarters in Bristol, a bronze for DXC Technology at GCHQ Cheltenham, and A St. Ives Legacy, a podcast exploring the impact of his grandfather, artist Peter Lanyon, whose work was collected by David Bowie. Upcoming projects include a research collaboration with NVIDIA, focusing on digital-to-physical processes within foundries. 

Lanyon is also a Doctoral Researcher at UWE Bristol’s Centre for Print Research, where his PhD, What Paint Can Be: Creative Solutions in an Age of Extraction, investigates sustainable paint-making alternatives for artists. His academic work reflects his commitment to the future of material practice and the relationship between traditional and digital approaches in art-making.

Lanyon holds an MA from the Royal College of Art, where he was selected as one of the first Saatchi Gallery & Channel 4’s New Sensations artists. Currently based at Spike Island, Bristol, his practice continues to explore the boundaries of painting, sculpture and art production in an increasingly digital world.
