Doug Hyde Sell out!!

Doug Hyde's latest collection Reasons to be Cheerful sells out in record time! Please contact the gallery to see which pieces we still have available.

LOVE, COMPANIONSHIP, FRIENDS, LAUGHTER, HOPE, TOGETHERNESS

The new collection from the incomparable Doug Hyde brings together the naive charm of his distinctive, uplifting style with an unprecedented compositional sophistication. While Doug's artistic journey has taken him from the mono tonal figurative work to blazing technicolour narratives, these images deploy a new language both in terms of colour, and in a range of elegant formal devices which convey his artistic and personal messages.

FUZZ, MONTY, JESS AND BIG BEAR

This cool and stylish quarter of images represents Doug's familiar playful portrayals of his friends, but here the use of colour and sharply defined presentation of each character suggests a new refinement in his work.



YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROWOnce again Doug has shown himself as the universal optimist with this message of hope for the future. Although the clarity of his artistic voice is due in part to his use of narrative strand, it is the perfect simplicity of the images and the subtle tonal highlighting that makes this triptych so direct in it's appeal.

SECRET GARDEN

With Secret Garden Doug makes a brief foray across the spectrum with a breathtaking burst of light and colour. This definitive image celebrates all the uplifting ideals behind this stunning collection: love, companionship, friendship, laughter, hope and togetherness are all here, summed up once again in Doug's inimitable style.



INSEPARABLE
'Inseparable' is classic Doug Hyde in that it communicates so directly with the viewer, telling us everything we need to know about the loving relationship of the protagonists. The bear is as always depicted as protective and loyal, yet it is he who is subtly presented as leaning on his small companion, cleverly expressing the mutuality of their love for one another.
