Old Hues
Walking Through Mexico City
Acrylic on canvas, 2026
This piece by Old Hues is built from photographic observation and memory. The artist continuously documents everyday life through images, later translating them into fragmented compositions that sit between painting and collage.
In this work, a fleeting scene of a person riding a bicycle alongside a dog becomes suspended in time. The image is broken into layered brushstrokes and digital-like distortions, creating a sense of movement, as if the moment is dissolving while it happens.
Rendered in a limited blue palette, the painting shifts away from realism into perception. It is not about the exact moment, but about how memory holds it—partial, blurred and constantly in motion.
