Patrick Hughes is a self-taught artist who
developed his signature Reverspective style in his
early career, responding to the architectural forms of surrealists
such as Rene Magritte and M.C. Escher, as well as monolithic
figures in the world of modern and contemporary art. By reversing
our conventional sense of perspective, his three-dimensional
paintings appear to move along with the viewer and take them on a
colourful journey down gallery corridors, around graffitied street
corners and along dazzling Venetian canals. In Patrick's own words,
'they come to life when we bring them to life.'
One of the major painters of contemporary British art,
Patrick Hughes' work is held in many public collections,
including the British Library, the Tate Gallery and The British
Academy, London; the Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow; The Deutsche
Bibliothek, Frankfurt and the Denver Art Museum. Patrick has
exhibited in London and throughout Europe, South East Asia, America
and Canada. His publications include Vicious Circles
and Infinity; Upon the Pun; More on
Oxymoron; Left to Write
and Paradoxymoron: Foolish Wisdom in Words and
Pictures. The work of the artist has featured in the
monograph Perverspective, by John Slyce and most
recently in A Newer Perspective, second edition
published in 2018 by Flowers Gallery, with articles by Dawn Ades,
Martin Kemp, Thomas Papathomas and Patrick Hughes. Patrick Hughes
lives and works in London.
