Hugo Regan (b. San Francisco) is a Texas-based visual artist whose work centers on the figure as a psychological and narrative space. His practice draws from Southern American folklore, and his Central American identity to create images that feel intimate, emotionally charged, and reflective.

Recent work, including Night, For Now (2026) at OP Gallery, explores vulnerability, endurance, and the quiet negotiations that unfold within unstable or uncertain landscapes. The paintings resist clear resolution, offering moments that remain open and unresolved, inviting viewers to sit with tension, tenderness, and unease as meaning reveals itself slowly through looking.

Regan holds a BFA in Visual Communication, and his interdisciplinary approach is informed by a background in design and storytelling. His work has been exhibited in group exhibitions at Art League Houston, Box 13, Alabama Song, Flatland Gallery, and G Gallery through Open MFA, as well as the co-founded art collective Qollective. He has also participated in public art and community-based projects throughout Houston, including large-scale murals and collaborations with the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Discovery Green, and LGBTQ+ focused community initiatives.
