French artist, Hopare since his first graffiti 15 years ago on the walls of Limours, he has forged a very strong graphic identity and embarked on a deeply humanist journey. Emerging from strong contrasts of colours, his dreamlike portraits are structured by dynamic black lines, the artist’s trademark, which give his works their futuristic look. Yet, the faces of his work do exist they are Hopare’s way to pay tribute to the people he meets in the course of his travels.

His entire process is therefore rooted in a humanistic approach, reminding us of the importance of respect and exchange, but also of the fight for equality and justice. Although, he does not intend to be political, his works have a powerful social and political resonance. In 2019, he was commissioned to do a 1,000m2 mural in Atlanta for the Super Bowl. He will be doing the Forum des Halles in Paris in 2021.

HOPARE

“Love, sharing, a global consciousness of the world without falling into stereotype. Being a vector of knowledge, joy, questions and trying to give back as much as I receive from others through my work: the other is my motto.”

HENRY HUDSON

b. 1982, London, England HENRY HUDSON

b. 1982, London, England

Henry Hudson lives and works in London.

He works across painting, sculpture, ceramics, installation and printingmaking. Hudson’s critical practice is expressed through the exploration of various techniques and materials, including ceramics, plasticine, scagliola, oil painting, 3D printing, wax, sand and textiles. The work extends into the digital realm using the iPad, scanners and uv printers that inform his contemporary portraiture, iPad dreams and hysteria works, which are playfully concerned with the public and the private, outrage and reaction, as well as robotic prothesis and questions of authorship and legacy. Henry Hudson’s work is inspired by a multitude of sources new and old in which British art plays a formative role. His work often delivers art historical references (The Rise and Fall of Young Sen revisits the pictorial satire of William Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress) with which to frame his practice, clearly reflecting the artist’s decisive study of David Hockney, Leon Kossoff, Sigmund Freud, Frank Auerbach and other members of the School of London.

Within the contemporary pastels and digital neon colours of his Jungle series and wax Snowscapes, there is a sense of Anselm Kiefer’s biblical darkness, mirroring the exploration of the human condition in the tradition of van Gogh’s dichotomy between interior and exterior landscape. Mental health orbits through his oeuvre in both the subject matter, mark making and its material richness, speaking of physical production and the therapeutic aspects inherently implied therein.

HENRY HUDSON

“Two aspects are important for my work. One is the search for the exciting image, and the other is a theoretical part: What is photography? What role does it play in society? What are the central points of a photograph: the sharpness, the recognisability, the fixed naming of a motif (usually centrally in the middle)? And thinking about this photography (also in a social context) accompanies my work.”

Commission 21 “I want my jungles to feel like they are pumped up on steroids, simple syrup, coffee and cocaine, swimming in this cocktail of a Petri dish like a bit of botched Botox or bio lab muscle. Swamped in sunburn and covered in a thin layer of sun cream. Sweating and molecular under the canopy of the hairy armpit of the lost American tourist. A kitchen kitsch postcard to my hillbilly love. To my pop tart. PS. I love ya.”
