Since joining Artfinder in March 2017, Hugh Abernethy has become one of the most sought-after artists on the platform. In Hugh’s first year, he ranked among the top 10 grossing artists of 2017, and he has since been a best seller of the year in both 2018 and 2022. Hugh’s success on the platform is a testament to his exceptional artistic talent and unique approach to creating captivating abstract pieces.

Hugh Abernethy’s works are notable for their dynamic and expressive compositions, which draw inspiration from various abstract art movements of the 20th century. His layered and textured paintings exhibit a masterful use of colour, form, and an approach that evokes the spirit of the New York gestural artists of the 1940s and 1950s, with echoes of Willem de Kooning and Joan Mitchell’s brushwork. The intuitive process of building up layers and allowing for chance and change to shape the artwork results in truly-one-of-a-kind pieces that showcase Hugh’s daring and experimental approach to art-making.

Hugh Abernethy’s artistic vision has been widely recognised, with his work featured in curated collections such as ‘Rising Stars of 2017’ and most recently in Artfinder’s lead curator’s ‘Abstract Picks’ of 2023. Collectors and art enthusiasts alike are drawn to Hugh’s distinctive style and his ability to push the boundaries of contemporary abstract art. With his impressive track record on Artfinder, Hugh continues to be a top artist to watch in the ever-evolving art world.
