Cody Hudson’s paintings and drawings are informed as much by the artist’s inner reflections as they are by his external environment. Through their arrangements of peculiar shapes and symbols, the artist’s work hints at a deeper approach to seeing. Hudson’s compositions evoke the natural world while simultaneously pushing into a transcendent and mysterious visual space.
