Description

This piece is a venture into impressionist portraiture, depicting a male portrait in profile.

The use of vibrant colour and tone delicately balances with the shapes and the lighting to be abstract while still being recognisable as a face.

A mix of brush strokes and palette knife markings add texture, dynamism, and a little bit of chaos to the piece.

Ger Hughes is originally from Wicklow, Ireland and has lived in Dublin for 15 years.

As a child he used to draw endlessly, improving little by little over his formative years. Having sought out a profession in digital design, he found himself doing traditional drawing less and less. After doing some life drawing and falling in love with charcoal, he craved a little more. 5 years ago he picked up a paint brush and hasn’t looked back since.

He is passionate about rich, vibrant colour and lighting, and loves to challenge himself with different styles, techniques and a wide range of subjects.

All paintings are oil on canvas at the moment, although some future experimenting with other materials seems highly likely.
