Findlay Galleries is pleased to present the latest works from “My paintings are an unashamed and joyous celebration of life, a passionate defence of beauty and domestic harmony, steeped in the English and French Romantic tradition. I would like the work to stand as a symbol of promise in a world where satire and irony predominate, and to express our sense of existence through the recognition of the transforming power of colour and light.
renowned British painter Hugo Grenville. Grenville is
Through the arrangement of shape, line, pattern and colour I try to conjure the lyrical and the dreamlike, a place at peace with itself. The paintings do not generally represent an actual moment in time, but are rather the result of a process of reflection, recollection and reinvention, a distillation of human experience. The flowers in the jug, or the nude on the bed belong not just to now, but to all time, just as the abstract elements of colour and light are timeless, and connect us to both the past and the future, to the visible world, and to the invisible.�

- Hugo Grenville
considered one of the great Representational Figurative painters, with a style indicative of Henri Matisse, who is known for his expressive color and movement. In the following work Grenville has given us figures engulfed strokes. His ability to move colors into forms and forms into colors is spontaneous and free-spirited. The masterful use of light and reflection provide a sense of space and depth. This is an exhibition one should not miss considering its uplifting spirit and joie de vivre!
