Featuring a series of seven paintings and three new powder-coated steel sculptures, Hudson’s characteristically quirky forms tell the story of a mind searching for connection to the natural world. The creative outcome of a socially isolated pandemic, these pieces both represent the artist’s tangle of inner reflections as well as pay tribute to the nature around him. By employing a subdued palette, Hudson transfers feelings of hopefulness, positivity, and self-reflection to a world still thawing from prescribed loneliness and isolation. A contemporary ode to still-life and landscape painting, Hudson demonstrates how careful observation of the life growing around us can generate a new perspective, and help us to escape the monologue of self-deprecating thoughts that often arise when we spend too much time alone in our head.

Also released two new screenprints with the show titled Everyday Ambient Isolation Redux Part One & Two (2022) on Fabriano Artistico Grana Fina paper. Edition of 30.
