About Patrick Hughes

Patrick held his first solo show in 1961 at the Portal Gallery, London. A few years later, Hughes made two seminal reverse perspective works, Infinity and Sticking-out Room. In the 1970s Hughes’ name became synonymous with rainbow paintings, which also became very popular as prints and as postcards; people enjoyed them as decoration, but for Hughes the rainbow represented a solid experience.

In the late 1980s Hughes revisited exploiting the difference between perspective and reverspective and solidifying space. For the last 25 years his 3-D reverspective paintings have been hughesually in demand, exhibited around the world and featured in many public collections. The experience of seeing a Patrick Hughes sculptured painting in reality is really to experience unreality and the paradox of illusory space and movement.

Patrick Hughes | Rubik’s Cube

Rubik’s Cube (oil paint on wood) Cubism was the great art movement of more than a hundred years ago, I have re-imagined cubism as a reverspective space motor. Rubik’s Cube is another mind-boggling feat of genius by the king of “reverspective” as the cube literally comes to life depending on the angle it is viewed.
