Gwyddion Flint is a British visual artist, musician and writer.

His artwork is heavily influenced by Buddhism, science and Jungian psychology. Previous works have included psycho-geographical and hoax art elements, such as the Hopwas Project, where (Collaborating with horror writer Guy N. Smith) he buried two copper plates and other occult artifacts in a Staffordshire woodland that were later found and written about in local newspapers and online, sparking interest into the woodland’s past both locally and internationally.

Despite some of the more elaborate artworks and installations that he has created he always comes back to pencil drawing and poetry as his main source of inspiration.

His poetry is primarily created as spoken word works to be accompanied by experimental soundscapes and imagery, both live and recorded. The film ‘Brutalist’, a contemporary dance and spoken word film was created by ‘Collabs’, a London based platform (headed by producer Dan Lowenstein) for arts collaboration of all kinds, utilising the poem ‘In the City of My Body’ to create an experimental film and dance work in 2018.

He has also collaborated with David Tibet from the experimental band ‘Current 93’ in creating a sound installation in the south of England.

Gwyddion produces music under the name Xanadüüm, a kind of portmanteau of Xanax and Doom by way of Xanadu. Creating synth based music inspired by Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter and Enigma among others as well as old 90’s era videogames.

A link to his first book of poetry and philosophy, ‘A Hymn to Proteus’ can be found below.

  • He teaches and practices vipassana meditation which he studied while living in a Buddhist monastery for a year and later while travelling in Thailand and India, where he also learned many other yogic practices, which he mainly uses to stay sane while writing. Gwyddion is currently teaching in Vietnam and is writing another poetry book alongside his first two novels.

‘The real art is in your head, the real practice your life’.
