EXHIBITION: Peter Hudson 'Right Place, Right Time'

EXHIBITION: Peter Hudson 'Right Place, Right Time'

23 July – 10 August 2024

Sunshine Coast based artist Peter Hudson presents a body of en-plein air paintings and the allure of the natural landscape in his new exhibition at Mitchell Fine Art in Fortitude Valley from 23rd July.

Peter Hudson is a landscape and portrait painter and musician who draws largely on contemporary Australian history for inspiration in his art making.

Regular painting trips and sketching form an integral part of his art-making process in capturing the spirit or essence of the landscape.

‘‘Everything is, in the right place at the right time. This is a gift for the landscape artist, as all the usual problems and decisions concerning design, tone, colour, what to include, what to leave out etc. have been taken care of.’ says Hudson.

The exhibition showcases the stunning landscapes of Noosa National Park and its surrounds.

Peter is particularly influenced by a keen interest in Aboriginal Australia post colonisation as such his paintings and drawings have a deep connection to country and the natural world.

In response to Hudson’s preference for plein air painting, the artworks lead the viewer on a journey through the landscape, highlighting the natural surrounds, the terrain, and showcasing flora and fauna that are an integral component of this natural environment.

Peter Hudson is represented in National and regional collections including the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, Parliament House in Brisbane, and the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.

The exhibition is showing from 23rd July – 10th August 2024 at Mitchell Fine Art in Arthur St, Fortitude Valley Brisbane.

An Exhibition Opening Event will be held on Saturday 27th July from 2pm with Peter Hudson in attendance. All events are free.

Mitchell Fine Art is open 6 days a week; Monday to Friday 10am - 5.30pm and Saturday 10am - 5pm, with parking available onsite.
