Hugo Crosthwaite was named the winner of the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition held by the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. Below an interview with the artist after winning the prestigious award:
Hugo Crosthwaite is a great example of portraiture in a simple form. With his medium of ink and ink washes, the artist’s work is always making a statement. His work reminds me of modern street artists such as Swoon from the U.S.A. and from Brazil, Os Gemeos.
