London-based artist Patrick Hughes (b 1939) is acclaimed for his exploration of perspective and visual paradoxes, inventing an optical illusion of three-dimensional surface where the parts of the picture which seem the furthest away are physically the nearest. The preconceived assumptions of eye and brain are challenged, inevitably raising important questions about our perception and the subconscious.
The 2016 ‘Peggy’ is a three-dimensional hand-painted and photographic multiple with archival inkjet enclosed in a plexiglass box, depicting various artworks in the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. Hughes contrasts the exterior view of Venice with the interior view of the museum.
Patrick Hughes is represented in public collections including Tate, Victoria & Albert Museum, and the British Council.
