<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I PUT A SPELL ON YOU<\/i> on kiehtova kuvien verkosto joka tutkii taikuuden, uskonnon ja taikauskon valtakuntaa. N\u00e4yttelyn otsikko viittaa blueslaulaja Screamin’ Jay Hawkinsin<\/b> aavemaiseen ja provosoivaan esitykseen omasta vuoden 1956 kappaleestaan \u2018I Put a Spell on You<\/i>\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

L\u00f6ydetty kuva, k\u00e4sinkosketeltava t\u00e4st\u00e4 maailmasta oleva valokuva on portti koskemattomiin sis\u00e4isiin maailmoihin joiden taiteilija toivoo resonoivan takaisin ulkomaailmaan ja maalausprosessin kautta sitovan yhteen yksityisen ja yleisen kokemuksen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hughesin kuvasto ei v\u00e4ltt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00e4 noudata mit\u00e4\u00e4n erikseen m\u00e4\u00e4ritetty\u00e4 historian, paikan tai ajan logiikkaa; h\u00e4n tekee valintansa intuitiivisesti, jolloin maalaussarjalle kehittyy oma visuaalinen tarinansa. T\u00f6iden kuvauksen aiheina on kaikkea taikamaailman v\u00e4lineist\u00f6st\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4tt\u00f6miin naisiin. Teosten v\u00e4ripaletti antaa viitteit\u00e4 moninaisista kulttuurikonteksteista; visuaalinen l\u00e4mp\u00f6tila liikkuu v\u00e4reilev\u00e4st\u00e4 halpisestetiikasta viile\u00e4mpiin, vaimennettuihin s\u00e4vyihin.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

H\u00e4nen ty\u00f6ns\u00e4 keski\u00f6ss\u00e4 on pitk\u00e4kestoinen kaikenlaisten ulkopuolisuuden ja outouden tarinoiden kiehtovuus ja l\u00e4heisyys. H\u00e4nen ty\u00f6skentelytapansa on monis\u00e4vyisen ajattelun tuottamaa, yht\u00e4lailla populaarikulttuurin kuin outojen marginaali-ilmi\u00f6iden kuvastojen sek\u00e4 vakavaa ett\u00e4 leikkis\u00e4\u00e4 hy\u00f6dynt\u00e4mist\u00e4.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

H\u00e4nt\u00e4 kiinnostavat ne ohuet rajapinnat jotka erottavat uskomukset, huiputuksen ja harhakuvitelmat toisistaan \u2013 erityisesti n\u00e4in\u00e4 kuvien massakulutuksen ja ep\u00e4totuuksien aikoina.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Maalaukset muodostavat tarkoituksellisen ep\u00e4lineaarisia kertomuksia; surrealistisia palasia yhteensotkettuina katsojalle setvitt\u00e4viksi ja avattaviksi, omien merkitystens\u00e4, yhteyksiens\u00e4 ja tarinoidensa heijastuspinnaksi.<\/p>\n

I PUT A SPELL ON YOU<\/i> is a strange web of paintings that explore the dreamy realm of magic, religion and superstition. The title pays tribute to blues singer Screamin’ Jay Hawkins<\/b> eerie and provocative performance of \u2018I Put a Spell on You\u2019<\/i>, in 1956. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hughes is an image hunter. <\/span>The found image is re-imagined in paint. The tangible photo from the outside world is an access point to dig into the intangible inner worlds, that the artist hopes will resonate again to the outer world interweaving the social and the personal through the painting process. <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Her methods of working embrace a kaleidoscopic way of thinking, engaging with disparate images from popular culture to the obscure margins in serious and playful ways. The personal selection of images doesn\u2019t necessarily follow any defined logic of history, place or time; the selecting is intuitive and the paintings develop their own emotional textures and visual fictions. Her work is informed by her longstanding fascination and affection for outsiders and obscure histories of all sorts. She is intrigued by the thin lines between beliefs, delusion and deceit especially now in the era of mass image consumption and misinformation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The works depict a range of subjects from fortune tellers to magic paraphernalia to scenes of headless women or figures in cryptic scenarios. The visual temperature oscillates from vibrant pulpy aesthetics to cooler muted tones. The paintings create deliberate non-linear narratives, surreal fragments jumbled together offered to the viewer to unscramble and project their own meanings, connections and stories.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
