Born in St. John's, Newfoundland, Maurice Brazil Prendergast moved to Boston with his family in 1861. By his early twenties, the young man was apprenticed to a card painter, to which he attributed his life-long interest in flat, boldly-colored patterns. In 1891, Prendergast traveled to Paris, where he studied and painted for the next four years. His Parisian watercolors focus on the city's cosmopolitan splendors and invoke the fêtes champêtres of Watteau and the idylls in French parks by Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
Unlike these artists, however, Prendergast's technique assimilated the latest advances by Post-Impressionists including Paul Gauguin, Edouard Vuillard and the Nabis. This second group of artists revolted against fidelity to nature by permitting artistic expression to dominate subject matter, and their innovations liberated Prendergast from a strictly representational approach in his work. He would replace nature with his own imagination, painting whimsical patterns in bold colors to create charming and sophisticated views of leisure – the parade of strollers in the park, the bustle of shoppers along the streets, and the holiday atmosphere of summer outings at the beach.
During the next twenty years, Prendergast spent time in Boston, Venice and Paris, where he continued to develop his painting technique. During the late 1890s, he began exhibiting at the New York Watercolor Club and by 1900, had his first one-man show at Macbeth Gallery. In 1908, he participated in the exhibition of The Eight, also at Macbeth, and several years later, exhibited seven paintings in the pivotal 1913 Armory Show.

"Landscape #10", oil painting on cradled wood, resin finish, black wood frame
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Landscape #10 is an oil painting on cradled wood panel with chalk and graphite, and measures 24" high by 18" wide by 2" deep. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending Landscape #10 a particular warmth and liquidity that is lovely to behold. It is framed in a black wood shadowbox frame.
Will’s new landscapes are inspired by the shorelines of Lake Erie and the farmland of Norfolk County, Ontario. His true project – to explore and capture sudden bursts of cloud light, a disintegrating horizon, the ephemeral nature of shifting shores and lands.
From Will Hudson: “From one day to the next it seemed nothing was the same. There was no permanence to a particular view or setting. That’s what I painted.”
Recognized for seductive, enigmatic works in oil on wood panel, Will's picture surfaces are fascinating – he favors oil paint with chalk and graphite – and often allows the wood grain to emerge as a natural texture. He finishes each painting with a clear resin that operates as a lens. Admitting light and transmitting light, lending a palpable warmth and liquidity to the experience.
Will Hudson is a formally trained architect originally from the UK, now practicing in Toronto, Canada. With an eclectic career in the art world, Will has shown and performed chalk street painting and murals in across North America and Europe. His installations have been exhibited at Nuit Blanche in Toronto in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2014. His paintings were featured in a solo show, "Things You Think You've Seen" at Artists' Network Gallery in 2018. His most recent solo exhibitions were here at Gagné Contemporary...
