“By weaving the powerful story-telling abilities of the narrative
mural into the engaging impact of the life-size trompe l'oeil illusion
artist John Pugh has created a stimulating and enlightening venue for both
public and private art. His murals have been instrumental in revitalizing
the trompe l'oeil genre as a vital mode of artistic expression that
is both aesthetically and intellectually challenging. By the synthesis of deception and enlightenment Pugh has legitimatised and expanded the horizons of the trompe l'oeil mural. He has created a truly monumental
body of work and an artistic style worthy of its own descriptive expression:
Narrative Illusionism.”Kevin Bruce,
author of the upcoming book "The Monumental Murals of John Pugh"
