Lunar Robot (2020)

Patrick Hughes - Series 2

Lunar Robot contrasts the actual robot in the left-hand panel with the illustration on the box in the right-hand panel. The ‘real’ robot obeys the laws of (reverse) perspective, while the printed robot and its lettering dance to a different tune. The robot in its box stands on the moon with the earth hovering nearby, and the robot’s robot dog is barking with joy. My reverspectives are often concerned with boxes, boxes often appear in perspective, made in reverse in my sculptured paintings.
