Mark Cudd

She's Got Your Number, Mister (98-99 Series), Original Painting

2025

Artist Comments
A man stands still, his eyes hidden in the shadow of his hat. The lack of a visible gaze adds mystery to the scene. He is a visualization of someone whose voice we have heard, but whose face remains unknown. Painted in the black-and-white palette, the artwork exudes a vintage feel.

About the Artist
Artist Mark Cudd creates monochromatic portraits that explore the emotional layers of memory and the human experience. “My work should remind you of something,” says Mark. His paintings often stir a quiet sense of nostalgia, aiming to establish a dialogue based on common experiences, fears, ideas, and memories. Primarily self-taught, Mark draws from 20th-century photography—old family albums, found images, and his own snapshots—to shape stories that feel both familiar and imagined. His process blends multiple techniques and styles within a single image, giving each piece a distinct rhythm and psychological depth.
