Hugh Clemons British, b. 1993

Born in 1993, British self-taught painter, Hugh Clemons employs meticulous traditional painting techniques, layering pigment and glazes to create vibrant surfaces that invite the viewer to step cautiously into sparsely inhabited psychological spaces. These images speak of invisibility made visible, and, most anxiously, about the passing of time and our mortal inevitability. Foucault wrote, "The relation of language to painting is an infinite relation it is in vain that we say what we see; what we see never resides in what we say.
