About the Item
Color, line, texture, pattern and process are the formal qualities of abstract work. By exploring these qualities, Connor Hughes creates a visceral and cerebral experience within the abstract. Fields of color and texture fill the canvas. He attacks his work with a vigorous show of emotion, a struggle between self-expression and the chaos of the subconscious. Hughes stretches the canvas after he has completed the painting thus sides are finished making framing unnecessary however please contact the gallery for additional framing options.

Artist Statement
When painting and sculpting with mixed media, I get to play with the universe, creating chaos and then introducing structure and order. I seek to cultivate exactly the right amount of order, leaving much of the initial unstructured work alone, which allows me to process the trauma of living and letting go of that which I cannot control. I am unable to undo the lines superimposed on the chaotic background which makes for an exercise in accepting past actions and seeking how to create balance from the resulting composition. As a result I grow alongside my art and each piece feels alive. My pieces often begin without me knowing the end result, presenting infinite trajectories, but ultimately one end that feels right and finally settles in asking for no more.
The heavy mark-making is a nod to the fearlessness of graffiti and its emulation of the troubled and shameless beauty created by humans as they collaborate and clash with nature and one another. Each piece explores the interrelated nature of what humans create and what they are. Some pieces are influenced by the tension of engaging with looming current events or concerns related to humanity’s environmental or technological future. Others are filled with the exuberance of connecting to all that exists and love for other human beings whose creations validate my own shaky existence.

- Palavra #3By Paulo CanilhasLocated in Brooklyn, NYI am fascinated by the individual’s relationship within society. It is in this context that I exist. Along the beaten path, I allow myself to observe from a multitude of vantage points; towards the recent past or a future yet to occur. This is what inspires me- the creative moment yet to happen, laden with limitless possibilities. When I take a look at the past, I identify social and personal nuances and their direct influence on my work, and then with excitement look for what comes next. In this process I take distance from myself and view with a critical eye. Ever evolving, I search for more. I am neither a painter nor sculptor, much less a photographer or director, but I am a little bit of everything. I don’t feel bound to one specialized art form, and this allows me to navigate free and unencumbered by norms and expectations. My goal is not to achieve perfection in any one area, but rather to explore all disciplines- joyfully challenging myself, provoking and exploring beyond any pre-conceived limits. In my work I try to establish a connection between my reality and the reality of those who dedicate a few minutes of observation. I’m constantly searching for the vanishing point that gives diverse expression to my artistic production. This is the creative fuel that drives me ever forward. Paulo Canilhas...Category
