PRESS RELEASE - PATRICK HUGHES

Winsor Gallery secures Patrick Hughes exhibit
 - coup for Vancouver gallery

VANCOUVER, September 10, 2012 – Winsor Gallery announced today it has secured an exhibit of renowned contemporary British artist Patrick Hughes’s works October 4 to November 10, 2012.

Hughes is famous for his three dimensional paintings that morph in front of the viewer’s eyes. The artist expertly paints libraries, streetscapes, galleries and landscapes, all with a perspective that literally shifts with the viewer as they move around the painting. His fall exhibit at Winsor Gallery is entitled Perspectivariations.

“Patrick’s work really needs to be seen live in order to be fully appreciated,” says gallery owner Jennifer Winsor.  “I love watching Winsor Gallery visitors encounter a Patrick Hughes painting for the first time – the experience never fails to invoke surprise and awe.  We are looking forward to introducing the works in this spectacular exhibition to Vancouver’s art community.”
