Patrick Hughes is one of the major British contemporary painters, who lives and works in London. He is the creator of “reverspective” – an optical illusion on a three-dimensional surface, where the parts of the picture which seem furthest away are actually physically the nearest. For the last 25 years, his 3D reverspective paintings have been in huge demand, exhibited around the world and featured in many public collections. The experience of seeing Patrick Hughes’ sculptured paintings is really to experience the paradox of illusory space and movement. His works are in many public collections including the British Library, Tate, Denver Art Museum and many others.
