Biography

He began working with sculpture at a relatively late age after many years of traveling. He is best known for his work in polished mirrored steel, bronze and marble with a number of Monumental works on public display.

His "work on the female figure but has of late worked with an abstract expression. His soft lines and voluptuous, nearly bombastic style combined with inspiration from Modernism’s great names like Henry Moore, Jean Arp and Constantin Brancusi rocketed his career forward."[2]

His son, Henry Hudson, is also an artist.[3]

Artwork

Hudson's sculptures often are formed from iconic abstractions of the female form.[4] One of Hudson's well known sculptures is of Marilyn Monroe. He stated, "Line is the most important thing to me, the continuity of it ... I like sculptures that flow."[5] Ana Pettus commissioned a Marilyn Monroe sculpture.[6]

Personal life

As of 2015, Hudson lived and worked in Madrid.[7]
