About the Item

Artist Commentary: This painting is from my "Common Threads" series comprised of abstract paintings that metaphorically allude to the links, or threads, tying people, groups, and communities together across differences. We often find ourselves faced with addressing the differences between people, via identity, politics, economic stature, family origin, and more. Real entwined thread, or pulled lengths of wool, in the Common Threads paintings are a metaphor for commonly shared experiences bridging these different identity issues. Shared experiences bind people and their histories together in intimately interesting ways. I am working to use these links and metaphoric threads as a means to find common ground and harmony. Keywords: abstract, pastel colors, linear, lines, thread, calm, meditative, circles, pink, green, blue, ivory, antique white Details about the piece: - This is a hand painted, original painting - Created in Baltimore, Maryland, USA - Professional grade oil paints and ArtResin on wood panel - Other materials include professional grade watercolor, oil pastel, and thread - Wood Panel with Birchwood face and 1.5" Poplar wood cradle - Ready to hang with wires and D ring - Signed on the back - Certificate of authenticity and care sheet included with original Artist Biography: Farida Hughes’ lively and intriguing abstract paintings take their inspiration from the gathering and dispersing of crowds, group relationships, and shared histories and stories of people. She developed her abstract mixed media style, and methods of mixing oil paint with resin, after many years of painting with oil paint and experimenting with oil painting mediums. Hughes studied Studio Art and English at Fordham University in New York and received an MFA in Painting from the University of Chicago. Her work is exhibited widely in galleries and art centers and collected nationally. She is currently represented by Walker Fine Art in Denver, Colorado, and Bozzuto-Greene Fine Art near Baltimore, Maryland. Farida's artwork resides in several private and corporate collections, including Target, United Health Group, and Chesapeake Capital. Several pieces were acquired in 2020 by the VCU Health Systems in Richmond, Virginia, and by Beatty Development in Baltimore, Maryland. She is a 2013 recipient of an Artists’ Initiative Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. She has worked with many arts outreach groups and grass-roots community arts endeavors including as a mentor for WARM and a past Board Member of the Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts in Minnesota. In 2018 she returned to the East Coast, from Minnesota to Maryland, and maintains her studio in Baltimore in the Station North Arts District.

Intermingled 1

Artist Commentary: For ten years I lived in Minnesota and had a studio in Northeast Minneapolis, which I loved. When I moved to the city, I began to paint compositions of abstracted crowds of people as imagined from above. Can you envision this painting as a large crowd of people? You can hang this either horizontally or vertically. A little impressionistic in expression, this painting also reminds me of a garden of happy flowers. Keywords: color, abstract, movement, motion, circles, yellow, bubbles, gray, orange, colorful, texture, busy Details about the piece: - This is a hand painted, original painting - Created in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - Artist now lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland, USA - Professional grade oil paints and ArtResin on wood panel - Other materials include professional grade watercolor and oil pastel - Wood Panel with Birchwood face and 1.5" Poplar wood cradle - Ready to hang with wires and D ring - Signed on the back - Certificate of authenticity and care sheet included with original Artist Biography: Farida Hughes’ lively and intriguing abstract paintings take their inspiration from the gathering and dispersing of crowds, group relationships, and shared histories and stories of people.

Connected Conversations 1

Located in Boston, MA

Artist Commentary: Scientists like my work. They often make comments about looking at specimens in a petri dish, or at rocks or natural materials under a microscope. The two "Connected Conversations" panels (numbers 1 and 2) are painted in mixed media on alupanel, and aluminum sheet material. They are braced on the back for hanging and support and look like they are floating on the wall. Keywords: color, abstract, movement, motion, circles, yellow, bubbles, maroon, wine Details about the piece: - This is a hand painted, original painting - Created in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - Artist now lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland, USA - Professional grade oil paints and ArtResin on Dibond panel - Other materials include professional grade watercolor and oil pastel - Dibond panel with aluminum framing on back and wood supports and 1" wood cradle - Ready to hang with wires and D ring - Signed on the back - Certificate of authenticity and care sheet included with original Artist Biography: Farida Hughes’ lively and intriguing abstract paintings take their inspiration from the gathering and dispersing of crowds, group relationships, and shared histories and stories of people.
