About the Item

David B Smith Gallery is proud to present What Is Time Stretching And When Would You Use It?, the gallery’s second solo exhibition with Chicago-based artist Cody Hudson. In his distinctive abstract style, Hudson will present 13 new paintings and 4 steel sculptures whose abstract, repetitious forms extend and contract into harmonious compositions. Blending concepts from drastically different modes of artistic creation, Hudson borrows the term “time stretch” from music production lingo, where it is used to refer to adjusting the speed or duration of an audio signal without affecting its pitch. Working from a cache of abstract shapes, Hudson adjusts scale and proportion, arranging them in different iterations that allow for a visual rhythm to form across works. Inconsistencies and unique moments between works create connections that stretch across two and three dimensional renderings. Themes such as nature via landscape and plant-like forms, the repetitious nature of life’s ever-quickening pace, and the jolt back to motion we collectively are experiencing post-pandemic can all be found in What Is Time Stretching And When Would You Use It?. Hudson’s own struggle readjusting to increasing demands on time and space have proven hectic yet generative. Working within the parameters of a selection of melodic shapes and a dynamic fall tone color palette, Hudson’s inspiration from the slippery nature of time takes unexpected turns. Poised and static or threatening to tumble, stacked visual elements in Hudson’s work built upon themselves, harkening back to the memory of languid days past.
