ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This work is currently on display at The Speed Art Museum though September, 2013 Bryce Hudson's paintings are as notable for their nuance and sophistication as they are for their compositional drama. His geometric oil and acrylic on canvas paintings can be described as having a certain movement and three-dimensionality while retaining a reductive quality that is general to geometric abstraction. The hard-edged forms are bordered by bright bands of contrasting color of varying angle and width producing multiple fields of form and color that play against one another. Using a strict geometric language, limited palette and consistent compositional format, Hudson achieves a remarkable diversity within a narrow framework. Often is the case, architectural elements are Hudson's muse – flipping and dissecting elements, transforming them into a dizzying array of colors and shapes until all context is lost. The surprisingly bright color bands provide a rich contrast to the somber predominant blacks, grays and whites, and add weight and movement to the paintings. For example, central areas in the paintings, rather than appearing completely static, have a subtle yet rich variety of tones, weight, and illusion of depth or flatness, all achieved by employing directional brushwork and few variations in surface finish. Hudson's edges are taut and sharp, and there is an inner tensile strength expressed in the forms. The emphatic diagonal movement in his many of the works relates a feeling of containment within the picture frame, and a further implication of spatial depth. The scale of the works ranges widely, from medium-format works on paper to long eight-foot horizontals.

Bryce Hudson
United States
Bryce Hudson is a widely exhibited and published contemporary artist living in the United States. The bulk of his work deals with social issues surrounding ideas of race, beauty, gender identity politics and stereotypes in contemporary society. The weapons in his arsenal; bold color, pattern, composition, symbolism and digital manipulation of pre-existing imagery. Hudson's esthetic is inspired by historical art movements; modernism, post-modernism, minimalism, pop, neo plasticism "” yet the work itself is inspired by life in contemporary society. Hudson works across media. Contemporary abstract geometric paintings "” wherein he explores identity and race through use of color and composition; in recent work he uses architectural photographs and strips them of all context to create dizzying compositions. His digitally manipulated imagery from muscle magazines and beauties in advertising explores society's issues of beauty. To create the Kentucky Gentleman Series he hired an entire theater staff to transform him into serious or comical versions of every race he's ever been mistaken for "” then he photographed himself. He also experiments with pattern and color in ways that present similar issues in either a reductive or visually redundant fashion. Spring 2011, Hudson begins work on a series of cast glass sculptures and returns to his primary love of painting. Experimentation and evolution are essential to the development of all contemporary artists... If I had to reduce why I am an artist down to its essence it would be that my worth is based on the ability to grow and change with my surroundings, to inspire transformation and spark dialogue and thought in others, to always be mindful of what surrounds me (abstract or concrete) and to always formulate, reinterpret and reissue information into my own unique voice. "” Bryce Hudson
