doug hyde I JUST CALLED TO SAY
Paper Edition of 195 Size 20”x 15” FRAMED £435
DOUG HYDE HAS ALWAYS HAD A GIFT FOR COMMUNICATION. HIS FAMOUSLY UPLIFTING ARTWORK TAPS INTO THE NATIONAL PSYCHE, AND OFFERS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED TO LIFT OUR MOOD AND MAKE US CRACK A SMILE.
Yet his work always maintains a high level of technical accomplishment and aesthetic integrity, and as his new collection shows, he still has what it takes – and some!
This summer, as the Queen’s Diamond
Jubilee and the Olympics ensure that all eyes are on the UK, Doug brings us a colourful celebration of British life with three bold, bright images that have captured the public imagination
immediately. Taking the colours of the union flag as his starting point he ushers us along on a whirlwind tour of three vintage home grown images – the route master, the classic red ’phone box and of course the iconic flag. It seems almost unbelievable now to
recall that in 2002, Doug Hyde was a young artist painting pictures for his family and friends in his spare time. In 2005, he was named as the UK’s best
selling published artist and described as the UK’s most popular living artist on a BBC TV national news broadcast. Since then his popularity and profile has increased both at home and abroad, yet despite his phenomenal success he has never lost touch with the realities of life, and has continued to produce work based around his love for his family, his unfailing optimism and his sheer enthusiasm for life.
