Patrick Hughes

Bio

Patrick Hughes (1939, United Kingdom) lives and works in London. His works are in collections including The British Library, the Tate Gallery and the British Academy in London; the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow; The Würth Museum, Künzelsau and the Baker Museum, Florida. Hughes exhibits in London and throughout Europe, Asia, the USA and Canada.

Statement

Hughes did his first relief painting in reverence in 1964 and has greatly refined his system over the past fifty years, a system that is widely imitated. These works are built with wooden pyramids in perspective but upside down, with the furthest point of the represented space being the closest to the viewer. The resulting illusion is extraordinary, the viewer engages with the painting as it seems to move seamlessly, giving the impression of being in the room or outside of the depicted architecture.
