Cody Hudson
I rarely start out to do a painting with a painting in mind, I like to just let it happen and be influenced by the materials I have at hand. I really enjoy the actual act of painting or making sculpture and at times the work is more about the process than the final project for me.

Cody Hudson (1968, United States) works as a multimedia artist, but is often considered a painter and a graphic designer. His use of graphic line work and a palette of bright colors creates a body of work that expresses a narrative of longing and hopefulness, while also finding context within contemporary abstract art. The artist is interested in the elemental use of shape as signifier, but goes further by allowing the forms to be direct extensions of the work’s poetic content.
