Connor Hughes is a visual artist specializing in large scale abstract-surrealist drawings about the human mind. 

Hughes wears his philosophy on his sleeve with his body of work. He finds himself laboring over rendering these forms in a way that suspends the disbelief of the viewer. The subject matter of his work is metaphysical, exploring the meaning of consciousness and our perceptions of the world. Charcoal allows him to represent his ideas in a way that blurs the lines of reality. 

Using light and shadows mainly, the work serves to visualize multiple aspects of consciousness, and its use in establishing logic and order upon nature. Each piece represents different archetypes of nature and the human body, such as geometric shapes, muscular forms, and elements of landscapes. These surrealistic forms and figures are his attempt to use art as a visual language to discuss broader philosophical concepts within the human experience.
