HUGO GRENVILLEHugo Grenville is a leading British Romantic painter whose dreamy paintings reveal a spiritual intensity. In their exploration of colour harmony, and in their celebration of pattern making, they peel back layers of feeling. The figure subjects and the everyday objects that surround them provide the inspiration to express the joy in life of light and colour. The world around us becomes a poem that reveals something about how it feels rather than how it looks.Hugo Grenville was born in 1958 and first ehibited at the age of 15 at the Chelsea Arts Society. He left school and travelled before studying part time at Chelsea School of Art nd Heatherley's. Hugo started painting full time in 1989 and has held 11 one man shows, has painted portraits of many leading figures, regularly writes for The Artist magazine and lectures in London at his summer school on "Colour and Twentieth Century Painting". |
