When I was in Minneapolis I was introduced to Ryan Hughes at the Burnet Gallery, a commercial space in Le Meridien Chambers, a downtown hotel known for its jaw-dropping art collection. Hughes paints mundane objects, isolated on white canvases, that walk the line between representation and abstract. Seemingly drained of emotional content, they resonate nonetheless.
