Patrick Hughes : Superduperspective
Art // Steve // 30th October 2006
A big, dual-thumbs-up from paper-jam for the rather vertiginous Patrick Hughes exhibition at the Waterhall Gallery over in Birmingham.
The above photo isn't really going to help you appeciate it any, but the canvasses are 3-dimensional in such a way as to complement the image, and give it the effect of real depth. It can make you feel a bit queasy as you walk up to a painting of a room, only to have it swing around violently as you move your head.
Also we recommend watching everyone else in the gallery looking at the pictures, bobbing around and looking generally confused. Try and avoid going when there's a bunch of bloody schoolkids though, they kept walking up to the paintings and touching them, which broke the illusion somewhat.
