The Hudsons, Family Ties
Claridge’s Art Space, Mayfair, London 31 Jan - 14 Apr 2024 In all their work, they are united in their deep understanding and fascination of nature and natural forms. Their artistic practices all began to evolve at a similar time, though in remarkably different directions, incorporating a variety of mediums and processes. Yet, crucially, all connect strongly with the intricate and... Read more -
Painting with Sculpture: Reflections on the State of Nature
Unit London 20 Jun 2023 - 22 Jul 2024 Centring on ideas of landscape, the exhibition leads viewers from jungle floors dense with vegetation to celestial horizons and, finally, to the murky waters of the river Thames. Through these associations with earth, air and water, the exhibition reflects on the spiritual and theological connotations of the elements. These ideas... Read more -
Shanti
Unit London 5 - 26 Oct 2022 Using photographs and sketches as starting points, Hudson’s newest body of work visualises the city’s iconic buildings as they are reflected on the river’s surface.

Ontological Spherescapes
Palo Gallery, New York 9 Sep - 9 Oct 2022 Henry Hudson’s horizon line reliefs take inspiration from these airborne views of the earth. Precision is inherently hard to capture while flying at hundreds of miles per hour, which Hudson alludes to with his poetic, inexact titles, such as Somewhere Over the Tropic of Cancer (2022). However, these locations are... Read more -
Scapes
Unit London 18 Jan - 10 Feb 2022 Hudson first dreamed up the idea for these horizon line pieces during the events of last year, while flying back and forth to LA for work. When looking out of the windows of these empty planes, identity and individuality would slowly slip away, yielding to a greater sense of perspective.... Read more -
Pathways
Galerie Kandlhofer, Vienna, Austria 11 - 28 Nov 2020 Hudson's plasticine jungles encapsulate our complicated relationship with nature; as we revere and seek to preserve yet are enamoured by man-made materials. Compositions originate from his reflections on nature in London, extrapolated by visits to the Caribbean - and so not direct responses, but ‘mind states’, as Hudson asserts. An... Read more -

That said, nothing... Read more -

Sun City Tanning
Carl Kostyál 24 Feb - 25 Mar 2017 Henry Hudson’s new body of work Sun City Tanning is set in what looks initially like a tropical paradise featuring plants of vivid colours overlaying each other. On closer inspection, however, these are landscapes of almost suffocating density. They are scenes of over-abundance, where the hallucinogenic qualities of many of... Read more -
