Welcome
 
Hugo Grenville is a leading British Romantic painter whose dreamy paintings reveal a spiritual intensity. In their exploration of colour harmony, and in their celebration of pattern making, they peel back layers of feeling. The figure subjects and the everyday objects that surround them provide the inspiration to express the joy in life of light and colour. The world around us becomes a poem that reveals something about how it feels rather than how it looks.

His paintings of the female figure are invested with a conscious subjectivity that illuminates the fragility of humanity, and our longing for a better world.

He is a popular and exhilarating teacher and lecturer. His talks on Colour and Twentieth Century Painting have inspired many, both in the UK and abroad. He teaches an evolving series of one week courses in spring/autumn from his London studio (see Courses), and writes regularly on painting for The Artist Magazine.

Hugo is represented by major galleries both in America and the UK (see Noticeboard).

Studio visits can be made by arrangement.
