Peter Hudson In Conversation

Peter Hudson In Conversation
Saturday 17 September, 11 am
University of the Sunshine Coast Art Gallery

Learn more about the exhibition The mystery of being here and Peter Hudson practice with the artist and curator Megan Williams in conversation. 

Since the 1990s, Hudson has explored aspects of the natural world through painting and drawing. The landscape has been a constant for Hudson, particularly the Glass House Mountains and hinterland around Maleny where he resides. The moon, ocean, fish, birds and snakes also reoccur in his paintings, analogies for complex systems and relationships in nature including gravity, navigation and migration.

In 1998, Hudson made the first of many trips to the Aboriginal communities of Daguragu and Kalkarindji in Gurindji Country, Northern Territory. So began a decades-long association with the Gurindji people that transformed Hudson’s understanding of nature and spirituality and inspired him to make portraits.
