Visiting Artist’s Talk – Dean Hughes

For this week's Visiting Artist's Talk we welcome Dean Hughes.

Dean Hughes (born Salford, Greater Manchester, UK) studied at Chelsea College of Art & Design, London. Hughes works with a range of ordinary, familiar, objects such as paper, rolls of masking tape, and bus tickets. Through his work he makes small interventions, using banal materials, and dwells upon rituals of daily life.

Exhibitions have included solo exhibitions at Laure Genillard Gallery (London), Dick Smith Gallery (London) and Jack Hanley Gallery (USA). Group exhibitions have included: British Art Show; Big Minis, CAPC, Bordeaux; Newspeak: British Art Now – Saatchi Gallery; Lonely at the Top, MUHKA, Antwerp.
