About the Item

Glósóli No. 6 embodies Paul Hughes’ continued investigation of the emotional power of chromatic harmonies. Layering translucent pigments in horizontal veils, Hughes creates a sense of inner luminosity where light seems to emanate from within the surface rather than sit upon it. The saturated reds, ambers, and golds suggest an inner sunrise—a psychological landscape rather than a literal one. The artist’s brushwork oscillates between gesture and stillness, revealing his mastery of tempo and restraint. The Glósóli series, named after the Icelandic term for “glowing sun,” resonates with both musical rhythm and spiritual intensity. Within this composition, Hughes constructs a dialogue between warmth and distance, between color as sound and silence as form. The painting invites slow contemplation, evoking the deep emotional frequencies of joy, memory, and transcendence that define his abstract practice.
