Hugo Frones
Working since the late 80's under the influence of abstract expressionism, and despite a complex formal relationship in his work, the overall tone of his paintings is intuitive rather than cerebral and organized. When working on the canvases, he feels a particularly poetic intelligence working within him. Using a concise vocabulary of visual elements he approaches each painting with an intuitive sense of where he wants to go and how he will get there. Hugo senses when the work is right and when a series of paintings is finished.
Also, the scale of his work is sensed intuitively and he keeps it small or lets it go large. Working with acrylic paint on canvas, he is very fond of warm colours, Mediterranean atmosphere and spontaneous and intuitive brushstrokes of bold paint that give the work its final touch. It is difficult to tell more about a process that is so intuitive and spontaneous, so, he invites the viewer to consider these comments and let the work speak for itself.
