◐ Artist World Record ◑

Working in the studio, Hughes echoes the jubilant color palette of Fauvist masters like Henri Matisse while also paying homage to the visual tenacity of David Hockney. However, whereas her early work might be more in line with pieces like Matisse’s Red Studio (1911), canvases like Spins from Swiss occupy a new space that combines a century of creative progress in a composition rich with allusions to the past as well as a plethora of future avenues.
