The Only Immortality Is Up, (2022).
About
Phoenix Hudson Is artist currently making predominantly landscape oil paintings, with an emphasis on architectural and cityscapes, with a heavy influence from Morrocan and Mediterranean landscape and architecture.
Born 1997. Growing up around the St.Ives at the start of the millennium, my parents would introduce me to many around the scene at the time.
I began sculpting oil paint onto the canvas using primarily pallet knives during the painting ‘The Only Immortality Is Up’ displayed above. Thickening my painting up using a variety of mediums to imbue an impasto construction of my phenomonlogical expression of each place or moment through texture

My style
Focusing on the interplay between light, texture and the diversity of life through the emotive language of architecture, I tend to describe my work as an ‘ordered chaos’, in which huddled and towering rooftops compete for light and compress into tight spaces. A peaceful claustrophobia. Illustrating our relationship within the spaces we inhabit and inflecting what they say about us. Each of my paintings explores inner and outer landscapes, colour, notions of home and far away places, with a primary focus upon texture through a scultpural layering of the paint and mixed mediums onto canvas.
Currently my practice is split between making a lot of miniature paintings (10 x 10cm, on board), In which small quiet moments are frozen in time amidst the loud world we live in.
As well as working on larger canvases, typically mixing a palette that highlights the temperature of the piece, using wax and other mediums the paint is layered onto the canvas to create rich textures. Using techniques I have personally developed over the past couple years I intend of on carving out my own unique style and mark onto the art world.
My painting style is bold and vibrant, combining colors and shapes to create emotionally evocative pieces…
