Born in 1974 in Birmingham, United Kingdom, Richard Hughes lives and works in London. Hughes’ sculptural practice is engaged in the counter-productive act of manufacturing decay and illusion, creating objects that evoke, through their weathered appearance, the aftermath of good times past. His pieces are carefully crafted to look like: a found piss-bottle covered in dew (“Roadsider”, 2005), a moldy old couch sprouting mushrooms (“After the Summer of Like”, 2005) or warn down flip-flops half-buried in the floor (“The Last Drag”, 2005). Far from simple ready-mades, Hughes’ works are laborious copies of discarded junk. They appear as residual artifacts that incarnate the point at which working class suburban culture enters into the mainstream, dragging along with it a slew of improper objects.
Richard Hughes has recently presented solo exhibitions at Anton Kern Gallery, New York (2010), The Modern Institute @ Saydie Coles HQ, London (2009), Michael Benevento, Los Angeles (2008), The Modern Institute, Glasgow (2008) as well as the Tate Britain’s Sculpture Court as part of the Art Now series, London (2006). His work has also been shown as part of “Mapping the studio: Artists from the François Pinault Collection” at Punta della Dogana, Venice (2009), “Life on Mars”, the 55th Carnegie International at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburg (2008), “Re-dis-play” at Heidelberger Kunstverien, Heidelberg (2007), “The Pantagruel Syndrome”, T1 The Turin Triennial, Threemuseum Pala Fuksas, Turin (2005) and “BRITISH ART SHOW 6” at Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead touring to Manchester, Nottingham, and Bristol (2005). He has been nominated for the Beck’s Futures prize presented at the ICA – Institute of Contemporary Art, London (2006) and has received the EAST International award, London (2003).
Richard Hughes is represented by The Modern Institute, Glasgow, Anton Kern Gallery, New York and Michael Benevento, Los Angeles.
