Inspired by the early American suburbs created by architect William Levitt known as Levittowns, I set out to make a work that was reflective of that same uniformity. Modeling the actual homes after people I know in my neighborhood of Spokane, WA, they each have their own individual personality while at the same time all being exactly the same. When I finished painting the work I noticed that the majority of the painting was either green or grey due to the American obsession with grass and cars, so I titled it "Green and Grey." A nod to the American suburb and its seemingly attractive but also monotonous and individualistic purpose in American culture.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Kelley Hudson, a contemporary American artist, approaches her craft with a profound understanding of the fluidity and evolution inherent in the creative process. Rejecting the notion of encapsulating art within a singular statement, she views artistic expression as a journey of personal growth and transformation.

Hudson's artistic trajectory mirrors her philosophical stance, encapsulating her unwavering commitment to exploring the intricacies of human existence within the ever-shifting tapestry of time and space. Her oeuvre serves as a poignant reflection of the complexities of the human experience, navigating the intersection between historical consciousness and the perpetual flux of the universe.

Central to Hudson's artistic inquiry is an examination of societal constructs and power dynamics, with a particular focus on themes of class disparity, social conflict, poverty, and vulnerability. Through her work, she endeavors to foster equitable dialogue and community engagement, striving to challenge entrenched systems of wealth and authority.

An active participant in community initiatives, Hudson channels her creative energy towards effecting positive change and fostering connections that transcend societal divisions. Her art serves as a catalyst for meaningful conversations and collective action, aimed at addressing the inequalities and fractures within contemporary American society.

For Hudson, the ultimate aspiration as a creative is to craft art that not only resonates aesthetically but also fosters empathy, understanding, and unity among individuals. In her pursuit of art as a vehicle for social transformation, she remains steadfast in her commitment to shaping a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
