About the Item

Contrast is Contemporary Representational Art of a Canadian Landscape with a twist of Abstract. “Whatever my particular aim is, atmosphere is a constant when conceiving my work. lt is through composition that I express my emotion and enter into dialogue with the other. My pictorial universe is dominated by the vastness of the land and its conflictual element. World events, climate change, war and injustice leave their indelible mark on my mind. ln my work, imaginary lands are superimposed on real ones, creating numerous possibilities. There arises a mix of immobility, mystery and silence, in which the human race advances towards an elsewhere. Through my artistic language, I communicate my perception of the world today. My artistic language is primarily and profoundly instinctive, intuitive and non-conformist. In the studio, I paint in oil or acrylic, adding pastel or pencil on occasion. First of all with urgency, the primal impulse your create. Then an initial emerges composition, followed by the work of reconstruction. 1Iuse monochromes in particular the produce of a dramatic effect and accentuate the seriousness of my aim. Randomly, over the course of the passing days and over I go about, my eye picks up in a fashion, the forms, saturated colors and vibrations of my surroundings and records them in my subconscious. Back in front of my canvas These elements spring back, are revealed and shaped my own aesthetic. For me it is essential that my paintings project a certain duality and that they are enigmatic and open ta varia us readings. 1 do not work with the viewer and his or her expectations in mind. They are up to their own resonance, their own meanings and pleasure. Nor do I work according to the artistic currents of the day. What I’m looking for in an inner need, independent of trends. The work of art, like everything that is vital, must be able to evolve. I’m in the contemplation of nature that I find my inspiration.”

"Copse", oil painting, landscape, abstract, trees, field, sky, light, copper
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Copse" is an oil painting with chalk and graphite on wood panel, and measures 16" high by 12" wide. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending the artwork a particular warmth and liquidity that is rare and lovely to behold. Typical of the artist, the painting is a mystery despite its apparent simplicity – the landscape with trees on the horizon, the wide full sky bearing down with clouds and light. The picture surface is very interesting – drawn lines and painterly brushstrokes to be sure, but note the speed and swift conviction of those brushstrokes. All of it held, as if in time, by the resin layer acting as a lens to both transmit this picture and admit light to the picture. A true artifact. From Will Hudson...
