KEZ HUGHES

  • Focusing on the art community around her, Kez Hughes makes art about art, realist paintings that document exhibitions of her contemporaries. These paintings of paintings, sculptures or installations elaborate on issues of authenticity, subjectivity and cultural and social economies.

    After graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts and Music in 2015 with a Bachelor of Fine Art Painting, Kez has gone on to lecture at the Ian Potter Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation at Melbourne University and the Victorian College of Arts and Music. In 2015 along with artist Storm Gold, Kez opened CAVES, a curated, not-for-profit gallery located at the Nicholas Building in Melbourne, Australia.

    KEZ HUGHES
    You Never Got Me Right

    In an age where digital images dominate our experience, Kez Hughes’ paintings are lovingly rendered to communicate stillness, and beauty, and provide a new recording of artworks lost to their respective histories and locations.
    Through repositioning and recreating paintings from existing documentary images of art, Hughes contemplates ideas of originality, authenticity, and authorship.
    You never got me right brings together painted adaptations of works by Australian Artists including Lucina Lane, Heather b Swann, Olah Cohn, and Nat Ryan amongst others.
