About the Item
This super realistic image of an older man, head slightly tilted as he looks soberly through reflective lenses is a poignant psychological portrait by Dan Hughes. An octane blue halo outlines the sitter, whose skin, wrinkles, exposed neck and whiskers are rendered with exquisite care. The subject is a close friend of the artist and a sculptor who at the time was receiving treatment for cancer. The tone of this oil on canvas is in keeping with Hughes developed sense of observational realism, a fleeting but captured moment that holds psychological tension.
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 Hughes 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 created "a beautiful friction" between warm and cool tones.
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, and for the Canadian Portrait Prize in 2015. Hughes received Honourable mention at the Kingston Portrait Prize in 2017 for this powerful portrait of Shayne Dark.
