Item Description
Michael Hudock, Always a Phoenix, Never a Bride, acrylic, charcoal, graphite on panel, 24x24
Whether I am painting or photographing or working digitally I am constantly drawn to surface. I am moved by objects, parts of objects, buildings, walls with history, and surfaces that have been affected by the elements over time. In the studio I brush and trowel paint, and over days or weeks these applications of paint slowly develop texture and depth. Colors peek through from underneath; top layers become scratched away to reveal paint that was applied months before. New layers cover up what was done earlier. Scratches in one layer never completely disappear even when they are painted over and so remain as a quiet and subtle mark, hinted at but barely visible.
Item Special Note
Michael Hudock studied painting and drawing at Delta Community College College in Michigan and photography at Western Michigan University before moving to New Mexico 1978. Hudock has worked with a variety of photographic processes including traditional black and white, Polaroid films, gum dichromate, liquid emulsions, and digital imaging, but he began painting again in 1996. His interest in timeworn objects and surfaces is a consistent theme in his digital and photographic work as well as being the subject of his paintings. He is represented in Santa Fe by GF Contemporary and has had a studio at the Harwood since the mid-1990s.
