Chris Shaw Hughes
British artist Chris Shaw Hughes creates photorealistic drawings and paintings that document pivotal moments of history in specific places. His highly intricate pencil drawings resemble black and white photographs and have a tangible sense of nostalgia to them. Sometimes focusing on scenes that allude to trauma and tension, and at other times conveying moments of serenity, Chris gives each scene he depicts a compelling sense of depth. Whether capturing dramatic and dynamic portraits or depicting aerial landscapes, Chris’ technique is both observant and honest, allowing him to reflect the atmosphere of any given scene.

Chris studied for his BA and MA degrees at the University of Brighton and graduated in 2010. Prior to this, Chris had a long and successful career in advertising. Although he became disillusioned with the advertising industry, Chris’ interest in the presentation of information in the media remains central to his practice, with a specific intrigue in the notion of collective memory. The photographic nature of Chris’ subjects makes for artworks that are packed with themes of history, nostalgia and trauma.

The insider Jo Baring says:

Chris uses his impeccable draughtsmanship to create images which speak directly to the viewer. We are so used to seeing photographs of people and places destroyed by human actions or nature that many of us have become immune to their strength. Through drawing these images, Chris makes them more haunting and powerful. By using such a traditional, and personal, method to create images of modern-day trauma, Chris manages to produce stunning and thought-provoking works of art.
