"When the principles of perspective are reversed and solidified into sculpted paintings something extraordinary happens; the mind is deceived into believing the impossible, that a static painting can move of its own accord." Patrick Hughes.
 
Patrick Hughes’ reverspective wall reliefs are an innovative concept that play with perspective. This artwork is constructed of pyramid-shaped blocks that appear to move as you walk by and the reverspective design is experienced when viewed at different angles.
 
Patrick Hughes (born 1939) is a British artist that explores perspective and illusion in his work. He is famous for his 3D artworks and works in paint and print. His 3D works play with optical illusions, opposites and perspective - he creates wooden blocks in the shape of pyramids on a background that he paints and prints onto. The result is that these blocks appear to move as one walks by and when viewed from different angles the wooden blocks that physically come towards the viewer appear to recede, and the same happens with the receded part that appears to protrude. Hughes’ work is found in major public and private collections.
