Patrick Hughes
Patrick Hughes was born in Birmingham, England, in October 1939. He is a self taught artist who plays with perspective, optical illusions and figure-ground relationships. Building upon the work of M.C. Escher, Rene Magritte and Richard Artschwager, Hughes' paintings form a bridge between painting which is static and two-dimensional, and sculpture which is not.
Hughes held his first exhibition in 1961 and went on to develop his distinct perspective studies in the early years of his career. In calling the main body of his work, “Reverspective,” Hughes aims to warp our perceptions by constructing solid space through the use of sculpted painting.
Hughes builds his sculptured paintings using board which is taped together, gessoed and sanded until it is a pristine wall relief which mimics the shape of space. He then goes on to compose images of rectilinear forms such as buildings, books, doorways, boxes and gallery walls. The resultant painted reliefs baffle his audience by demonstrating how deceptive appearances can be. His Surrealist horizons imply deep space while the surface of the painting appears flat. Yet upon walking toward these seemingly flat paintings, they loom out at us, creating a disorientating, moving experience. Hughes challenges the assumptions of our eye and our brain, raising important questions about human perception and the subconscious.
Soon after his first appearance on the London art scene Hughes began exhibiting with Angela Flowers Gallery and continued to do so for over 40 years. In addition, he has taken part in many solo and group exhibitions across the UK and in America. As well as painting, he has also written and collated three books on visual and verbal rhetoric.

- Pay NothingLocated in London, GBKenny Schachter "Pay Nothing". Archival digital print on wove paper. Published in 2020. Edition of 60. Hand signed and numbered by the artist, verso. ‘At the height of Covid, various activist groups arose to protect artists and others from unlawful evictions for non-payment of rent due to their lack of earning capacity by an economy that all but ground to a halt—other than for the multinationals that always seem to prosper in times of crisis. One such grassroots advocacy initiative in April of 2020, was CANTPAYMAY which I spotted on artist Nicole Eisenman’s Instagram feed by way of a poster she created which proclaimed: “RENT STRIKE! STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THOUSANDS OF NEW YORKERS ON RENT STRIKE DURING #CANTPAYMAY. WITH MILLIONS OF NEW YORKERS OUT OF WORK, WE CAN AND MUST #CANCELRENT. SIGN THE RENT STRIKE PLEDGE TO JOIN THE MOVEMENT!” Pay Nothing is an appropriation of Ed Ruscha’s 2003 painting Pay Nothing Until April; though Ruscha attempts to disclaim meaning in his text works, it clearly references the loaded notion of having to pay-up in April, which is when both State and Federal taxes are owed across the country, as all US taxpayers are only painfully all too aware. “Says Ruscha: ‘I’m empty headed in many ways, and don’t know why I follow what I follow. Like most people, I operate on an automatic mode, and everything is an involuntary reflex. Logic flies out of the window when you’re making a picture, at least it does with me. And thank God it does.’” @tate In the context of the Covid pandemic, Pay Nothing signifies the fact that if a population is deprived of the means to earn a living, we still must eat and have a roof over our heads to feed and shelter ourselves and families. For, if we don’t have the ready capacity to provide, as Malcom X...Category
