1981 年出生于佐治亚州亚特兰大。现居住和工作于纽约布鲁克林。

莎拉·休斯在罗德岛设计学院获得美术学士学位,后来进入斯科希甘绘画与雕塑学院学习。她将自己那些色彩鲜艳、山丘、河流、树木和海岸线的画作描述为“虚构的风景”,这些画作通常以抽象图案为框架。这些画作充满了手势效果、表面触感,并具有童话般的梦幻氛围,正如《纽约客》所描述的那样,“用尽了书中的每一个技巧来诱惑,但仍然设法呈现出不那么遥远的世界的朴实景象”。大胆、冲突的色彩和不断变化的视角呈现出梦幻般的风景,将视线推过画布,挑战了空间的惯例。休斯并没有描绘真实的风景,而是邀请我们进入一个奇幻的世界,作为心理发现和反思的门户。

Shara Hughes earned a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and later attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She describes her lush, vibrantly chromatic images of hills, rivers, trees and shorelines, often framed by abstract patterning, as ‘invented landscapes’. Full of gestural effect, surface tactility and possessing a fairytale mood of reverie, these paintings, as the New Yorker described them, ‘use every trick in the book to seduce, but still manage to come off as guileless visions of not-so-far-away worlds’. Bold, clashing colours and shifting perspectives manifest into dream-like landscapes that push and pull the eye across the canvas, challenging conventions of space. Rather than depicting true to life landscapes, Hughes invites us into a fantastical world offered as a portal for psychological discovery and reflection.
