Who is Hugo? The mystique of this artist can be found in both the art and in the man. Merging both increasingly popular "outsider" art with celebrity status, Hugo is the alter ego of a medical doctor, best-selling author, entrepreneur, international radio/internet talk show host, life coach, spiritual counselor, and a world class expert on the treatment of addiction in its many forms.
 
In the past he has been the focus of front page headlines and national television tabloids in an exciting story of intrigue and mystery involving the world of drugs, sex, and secret agents, revealing the frightening reality of how things really work in our society.
 
While Hugo's original creations, command extraordinary prices, Hugo continues to work and live simply in the mountains of Western North Carolina, avoiding the excesses and glitter of big city life. Hugo is prolific, producing hundreds of new sculptures every year.
 
Many Hugo originals are currently available not only online, but at the gallery in North Carolina.
 
The definition of “Hugonism”.......an artistic, creative process by which one or more objects found in the environment are combined or artistically altered to form a new, different object of art.
 
Most Hugo originals are eclectic, abstract, modern, erotic, or whimsical. Many provide subtle insights into the man that was, and bold statements about the man who survived.
 
Market prices on Hugo original sculptures have exceeded 145,000 yet some are currently available for less than 500. Hugo sculptures are three dimensional art forms combining wood, metal, plastic, glass, rubber, bone, even precious gemstones, which offer a clue to the diversity of the artist's work.
