About the Item

In Screaming for Joy No. 21, Paul Hughes channels the elemental vitality of his Kerry surroundings into a luminous abstraction that transcends place. Bands of emerald, turquoise, and crimson stretch and blur in continuous motion, evoking both the land’s saturated fertility and the flickering pulse of light over water. Hughes works in successive layers of acrylics, oils, raw pigments, and varnish, often painting flat on the ground to merge physical gesture with gravity. The resulting surface is alive with directional energy and optical depth, its chromatic tensions oscillating between tranquility and eruption. Rooted in his Glósóli concept — the “glow of the soul” — this painting conveys the moment when inner radiance meets external light. It invites viewers to enter a boundless field of color and feeling where self, place, and light momentarily become one. The result is not a landscape but a state of being — a vivid expression of joy and acceptance through paint.
