“Lost/Found”, John Hudson’s first solo exhibition, creates tension between tranquility, disruption, uncertainty, and finally resolve in his multi-layered paintings and collages. He employs various narratives and metaphors to connect his ideas, while at the same time leaving an element of mystery and discovery. His quest is to attain balance. Hudson’s life experiences serve as a metaphor for the painting process itself--an abstract landscape of interior thought and self-discovery. This can come in various forms within the painting--fusing found objects, words, and photography to build these narratives.
