‘Right Place, Right Time’ | Peter Hudson

23 July - 10 August 2024
Opening Event: Saturday 27th July from 2pm with artist in attendance.

Peter Hudson draws largely on contemporary Australian history for inspiration in his art and mark making. Regular painting trips and sketching ‘en-plein air’ form an integral part of his art-making process in capturing the 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.

He has been particularly influenced by and has a keen interest in Aboriginal Australia post colonisation. He has spent extended periods in some of the remotest parts of Australia with a particular affinity to Gurindji country in the North Tanami desert after becoming intrigued with the Wave Hill walk off.

As such his paintings and drawings have a deep connection to country and the natural world. Science, mythology, evolution and magic all blend to create a subject matter particular to him.
