IT'S ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE!
It's all about Perspective here at Winsor Gallery as we prepare for Patrick Hughes' forthcoming exhibition PERSPECTIVARIATIONS. As we prepare to install Patrick's work, we asked everyone at Winsor Gallery what their favourite Hughes piece was... below are the 'perspectivariations... responses.

My favourite Hughes work is not an original painting, but one of his quirky prints. I love Patrick's prints, they are brilliant. Liquorice Allsorts is my favourite, because I am a huge fan of organization. For example, this is one of my all time favourite Tumblr sites: http://thingsorganizedneatly.tumblr.com/

“Brilliancy” is, in fact, my favorite Hughes piece. It’s animated juvenile quality really works with the cheeky nature of the visual illusion. It’s such a perfect marriage of form and content that way. I guess I like the whimsy of it!

I really like Koons Poodles not only because of its amazing glint and shine, but also because it is a great example of Patrick Hughes' Warholian interest in appropriating already celebrated imagery. The Koons Poodles are iconic in their own right, but Patrick makes them spectacular in a different way.

I have so many favourites, I found it hard to choose. So I'm also going to include Weather Cock and Sunshine in the list. They are just so witty and tongue-in-cheek, loving them is hard to resist.

Crash Landing is a favourite of mine because it's simple, clever, and a little bit hopeful and sad at the same time. It's ordered but awkward, and therefore endlessly endearing! The way the buildings are printed reminds me of a very specifically New Yorker type of illustration. Maybe it's for this reason that Crash Landing makes me nostalgic for chilly mornings, big cities, and simpler times.
