Like his father before him some 10 years earlier, Doug Hyde’s 12-year old son, Charlie is following in his globally-respected dad’s canvas-cemented footsteps here in ‘Bear Hug II’, as Hyde Senior recreates one of his most seminal compositional moments this Autumn 2014. Rolling out his unique 10 brand new pieces every day for a 10 day period cumulative pictorial celebration – in recognition of amassing a hugely successful decade as a multi award-winning published artist (in the contemporary fine art category) – Hyde today unveils his very latest illustrative re-mastering.

Yet whilst it was Hyde himself embracing his (then) 2-year old son some decade previously, today it’s his son doing the embracing, clutching to his chest a selection of his favourite soft toys from his earlier childhood. This delightful and intimate graphic sentiment, bridges the generation gap with consummate ease, and as do all the pictorial reiterations found in Hyde’s new ‘Love Counts’ portfolio which collectively stand the test of time; as does the enduring fine artist’s ability to deliver these eagerly awaited, hand-signed, limited edition framed boxed canvas goods, concurrently.
