This exhibition showcases the vibrant and symbolic paintings of Shara Hughes, featuring dreamlike landscapes filled with exaggerated flowers, enchanted forests, and mysterious natural elements. The works draw inspiration from artists like Georgia O'Keeffe and movements such as Fauvism and Expressionism.
The exhibition 'SHARA HUGHES' delves into the prolific inner world of the contemporary artist Shara Hughes, born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1981. Her paintings are characterized by intensely symbolic motifs and a unique approach to landscape, presenting fields of flowers, enchanted forests, and mystical waterfalls as if from a fevered dream. Gigantic flowers ascend like trees, familiar yet unknown plants mutate, and blazing sunsets and glowing stars bathe the scenes in supernatural light. Hughes's work is a journey through the complex terrain of an inner world, with motifs charged with meaning. While paying homage to figures like Georgia O'Keeffe, her expressive use of color is particularly indebted to the Fauvist approach to landscape painting and the broader traditions of modern Expressionism. The exhibition features specific works such as 'Weighted Blankets' (2022) and 'Pop' (2021), highlighting the scale, medium, and artistic context of her creations.
