"Victorian Soiree" Mixed Media Tile by Pauline Hughes

Liverpool-based artist Pauline Hughes takes a fluid approach to her ceramic practice, combining aspects of painting, collage, and printmaking into her works. This lovely mixed-media tile dresses two painted figures in fragments of printed fabrics. Situated before an ambiguous space peopled by collaged photographs of antique sculptures, the tile evokes the playfulness and mystery of a Surrealist painting.

Hughes holds a degree in ceramic arts from Brighton Polytechnic and exhibits widely in the United Kingdom and United States.
