Artist Biography
Robert Hudson is best known for his complex, witty sculptures. Using geometric shapes of welded steel painted in brilliant colors and patterns, Hudson explores questions of form and illusion.
In his first print, White of the Eye, made in 1986, Hudson harks back to his monochromatic work of the ’70s. Here complex patterns and flattened geometric shapes combine to create an ambiguous perspectival space. Like his sculptural work, the print follows an abstract impulse to achieve its final form.
