Robert Hudson
Artist Statement
The works of Robert Hudson are visually enticing, as the artist strategically combines fabricated and found objects into pieces that burst with his signature wit. The careful geometry of his forms is often painted over in trompe-l’oeil designs and decorative patterns, as he skillfully manipulates the viewer’s perceptual experiences. Although his sculptures are often densely composed and seem to have been thrown together haphazardly, Peter Frank of Art Ltd. notes that “there is so much method to Hudson’s madness that we come to understand that the method is the madness, a compulsion toward artifying mundane objects while leaving them anchored in the everyday.”
