Bryce Hudson experiments and evolves with Presentation

Opening: August 6th, 2010     |     Opening Reception (5pm - 9pm)
Through: September 22nd, 2010

Contemporary visual artist Bryce Hudson will exhibit his newest work at The Green Building Gallery beginning August 6th. The work is a further exploration into three of his known series The Beauties, The Equinoxes (Equilibrium Deco) and The Holding Pattern.

Following his own philosophy that experimentation and evolution are essential to the development of all artists, Hudson takes his work in new directions while staying true to his themes of identity, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. As he states, “In my opinion, an artist’s worth is based on his or her ability to grow and change with his or her surroundings and to also inspire transformation and progress in others.” With this, he literally takes his work to larger scale, with 6ft screen prints of The Holding Pattern, larger than previous work he has shown.

The exhibit will also feature work from The Equilibrium (Deco) Series and The Beauties. The Equilibrium (Deco) Series is a juxtaposition of two movements in the history of art and design – Minimalism and Rococo – opening up each piece to the viewers’ own interpretations on the depths of decoration, pop art, trend and pattern. Hudson’s work frequently explores balance, symmetry and harmony and their relationship to contemporary society in a post-painterly minimalist style. In The Beauties, the full spectrum of his interest in personal identity within the context of popular culture is intimately illustrated.

The Beauties series explores the conventions of beauty and sexuality and attempts to decipher the impact of these standards through digitally manipulated labels and advertisements. Hudson lives in Louisville and has an extensive exhibition history. His
work is in many important private and corporate collections in the US, South America and China.
