About the Item
Dan Hughes pays homage to classical painting techniques with a loose hand. Bold, modulated colour brushstrokes showcases formal composition in a new and refreshing light. Well known for his sensitive and lush nudes, this is an excellent example of his work. The softly painted reclining figure is bordered by a deep and warm-hued red. Framed dimensions are 25 x 20 inches.
Hughes graduated from the New York Academy of Art (MFA, 1995) and 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, and has been shortlisted for the Canadian Portrait Prize in 2015.

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). 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.

Sleeping Girls - contemporary, figurative, portrait, acrylic, oil on board
By Daniel Hughes
Located in Bloomfield, ON
This realistic painting, a portrait of children, is by internationally recognized artist Daniel Hughes.
Daniel Hughes is known best perhaps for his true-to-life figurative paintings. Early in his life, Hughes was strongly influenced by the work of his artist mother and her friends, many of whom were renowned British artists.
He grew up drawing…never in color books but on six-foot lengths of computer paper. Hughes was especially drawn to the figurative paintings of British artists of the 1950s. His aesthetic focuses on a realistic interpretation, composition, light, harmony, and emotion. Hughes' work, like this acrylic and charcoal painting of two little girls sleeping...
