“An installation based and multi-disciplinary artist, based in New York. She has a wide practise, working with a wide range of mediums, and combines both the virtual and the real.
I met Rachel in her studio in New York. She has these amazing paintings, which merge holograms with paint. Her studio had incredible light – projections bouncing around the room. I think it’s an incredibly difficult thing to do, to combine these mediums, but Rachel does it beautifully.
Her studio is a mixture of the smells of paint and canvas, and the sound of whirring machines and technology. When I took her photo there was beautiful digital light, and projected images playing across her face. I wanted to capture her as the powerful and engaging woman that she is and mix that with this very feminine composition with her arms. It is possibly the most intimate portrait of the series.
I printed her portrait on old computer chip hardware. They have this wonderful coding on the surface of the chips. I love the texture and geometric shapes.” - Henry Hudson
MULTI-MEDIA AND INSTALLATION ARTIST WORKING WITH TRADITIONAL ARTFORMS, NEW TECHNOLOGIES.
de PURY presents, ‘Henry Hudson - Microcosm’ launched on 1 June - to September 10, 2021. London-based artist, Henry Hudson presents a new series of portraits, begun in 2019, of leading art world figures a.o. Ed Ruscha, Sean Scully, Mary McCartney, and Ai Weiwei.
ABOUT THE HENRY HUDSON 'MICROCOSM' EXHIBITION:
Hudson (b. 1982) has long had a diverse practice, working across painting, sculpture, ceramics, installation and print-making. These new works represent how his practice extends into the digital realm using the iPad, scanners and UV printers to inform his contemporary portraiture. For the series, Hudson takes a photo and draws a portrait of his sitters on an iPad, which is then printed via a UV Flatbed printer on a selected medium tailored to the individual’s background.
‘Henry Hudson - Microcosm’ initially launched on Simon de Pury’s influential Instagram account, followed by an online viewing room on the de PURY website. Physical exhibitions are also staged in the artist’s studio by appointment. A limited number of exclusive new portrait commissions will be accepted following the series. There are also 30 limited edition prints available to purchase from the exhibition.
