As we wind down and ready ourselves for the weekend, we want to make sure you don’t forget the importance of looking at things in a different perspective. Instead of assuming the norm or going about normal routine, we invite you to indulge in originality that will make people look twice. We invite you to discover the wonder in what one artist calls “reverspective.”

Patrick Hughes is a painter who coined the term “reverspective,” which means reversed perspective. Not only is his terminology new to most of us, but so is his technique. Hughes paints on a three-dimensional surface, but here’s the catch: what appears to be the farthest object away in his paintings are actually the closest and vice versa. He does this by painting the opposite depth of the perceived objects, AKA reverspective.

Whether you’re on your lunch break or returning to your home from another workweek, we feel you need to see Hughe’s work for yourself.
