About the Item
An interior view in cool blues, lavender and light green verges on abstraction in this intimate oil by Dan Hughes. The contemplative work is in keeping with the artist's sense of observational realism tempered by memento mori, a fleeting but captured moment.
Hughes is an established and highly skilled portraitist with a deep appreciation for neoclassical techniques. He learned and practiced these skills in Florence through the Ontario College of Art before completing his MFA at New York Academy of Art in 1995. During this period he moved towards "observational realism".
According to critic Donald Kuspit, observational realism depicts the world exactly as it appears to be. But Hughes brings a sophisticated color pallette into this vision.
Hughes received the Elizabeth Greenshields Award for Figurative Art in 1991 and 1995. He has had solo shows throughout Canada, England and the US, and was part of a prestigious group show at The National Portrait Gallery in London (2005). He was shortlisted for the British Portrait Prize in 2012, was shortlisted for the Canadian Portrait Prize in 2015 and received Honourable mention at the Kingston Portrait Prize in 2017.

Daniel Hughes
After completing his MFA at New York Academy of Art in 1995, Dan Hughes studied in Florence, Italy, through the Ontario College of Art. During this period he moved towards "observational realism." According to critic Donald Kuspit, observational realism depicts the world exactly as it appears to be. But Hughes brings color into this vision - he creates "a beautiful friction" between warm and cool tones. “Figures just excited me. … It’s the hardest thing to do. Painting the figure is the biggest challenge,” he suggested. “I’m a problem solver. My dad was a mathematician, and he’s a problem solver, so I think I got it from him. Learning how to paint the figure is all about problem solving. How do I make that look real? How do I turn that? How do I make that light look proper? How do I understand anatomy? It’s not something you’re born with at all.” - Dan Hughes Hughes received the Elizabeth Greenshields Award for Figurative Art in 1991 and 1995. He has had solo shows throughout Canada, England and the US, and was part of a prestigious group show at The National Portrait Gallery in London (2005).
