British artist Henry Hudson explores themes of social stereotypes and satirical comment on the madness of contemporary life. His works create a heightened world of colour, form and texture through performative and expressive movement. Hudson was initially inspired by School of London artists such as Leon Kossoff and Frank Auerbach who were known for their works rendered in thick impasto oil paint. Hudson began to manipulate Plasticine to achieve a similar effect to the densely layered paint. The artist’s works therefore seem to lie between painting and sculpture, becoming vibrant reliefs. The unusual use of Plasticine as a medium is particularly effective in Hudson’s jungle artworks. The thickness of the material seems to convey the weight of humid tropical climates and dense vegetation. The artist even mixes the Plasticine with luminous paint in order to produce these richly fluorescent jungle scenes. The luminescent colouring emphasises the dream-like qualities of these works that imagine the otherworldly wondrousness of natural spaces untouched by humans.加载中...
