Artist
statment
Samuel Hughes
For quite some time now I have been
focused on working with utility alleyways, loading docks, car parks and back of
shop storage areas as musers for my practice.
In these places,
convenience and utility vie for space; aesthetics are designed out by the
hunters of fashion and commerce
- Juxtapositions, chaos and incidental
beauty.
The driving force for
this work is a quest for social comment. Life has a myriad of different
beautiful things, and the best are a surprise.
So when some one buys my work and hangs it on
their wall, it should be working to remind them that the beautiful things of
life aren’t always to be found in full view or in likely places.
- Influencers
and outlook
I’m keen to
see how the digital age will be consumed into the visual arts. I borrow from
and admirer the impressionists for their vigour, and their love of common
beauty, I Also draw from the bay area figurative in California with their colours
and abstract heritage. Other artist include Jack Jefferson, Picasso and
Daumier
