Contemporary Mixed Media Prints

Equilibrium Series (Deco) & Equilibrium

In The Equilibrium Series, Hudson explores balance, symmetry and harmony in his typical post-painterly minimalist style. Experimentations with positive and negative space are common in his work.

In this particular set of prints Hudson juxtaposes two vastly different movements in the history of art and design; Minimalism and Rococo comparing and toying with them, opening each piece to the viewers own interpretations on decoration, pop art and pattern.

Holding Pattern

The Holding Pattern. The subject, attractive women in their mid 20s to late 30s, superimposed upon their faces are decorative patterns, the combination of which brings to the surface ideas of symmetry, objects of decoration and femininity.

The pattern acts as both a decorative element while at the same time as a buffer or separation point from the viewer. The issues that society place on young women to perform professionally, marriage, produce offspring, build a family and home environment we all ideas that inspired this project.
