Glyn Hughes 1931 - 2014

179 Glyn stressed that, as an artist, keeping a day job –he had never been commercial– was not easy; but switching jobs from teaching to journalism to theatre work did give him a non-ivory-tower life, which suited him. After his father’s death, he was able to buy a small traditional house in Kaimakli, a suburb of Nicosia that still retained a village character at the time, where he continued to paint nearly until the end of his life. In 2004, he presented his work (pencil and charcoal drawings and white paintings) at Gloria Gallery, in Nicosia in an exhibition entitled Drawings at the kapeleio: Walking on eggshells.
