Artist Biography

Matt Devine is a self-taught sculptor working with steel, stainless steel, aluminum and bronze. Born in Salem, Massachusetts in 1975 and raised in New England, Devine moved to California in 1995 where he learned how to weld and fabricate while working closely with his father. He continued on at various fabrication studios honing his craft and developing a passion for metalwork and sculpture. Functional and architectural works gave way to non-representational sculptures, which he showed at galleries with increasing frequency and success. The freedom of having no rules or boundaries with sculpture was especially appealing to Devine. In 2004 he was able to transition to full time artist.

The contrasts of nature and industry, light and shadow, chaos and order are themes found throughout Devine’s body of work. Pared-down organic shapes are formed out of sheet and solid materials and welded together in harmonious accord, making the heavy metal appear as light as paper. These contrasts, plus the relationships of patterns and boundaries, address Devine’s desire to contain chaos and push out the discord of an information-saturated culture. Even the process of welding has become a retreat from cultural noise. Devine’s sculpture is currently on display at highly-regarded fine art galleries across North America and Europe. His sculptures can be found in private, corporate and international collections on five continents. Devine currently resides with his wife and daughter in Petaluma, California.

Artist Biography

Sculptor Richard Hudson was born in 1954 in Yorkshire, England. A prolific artist, Hudson creates partially abstracted re-inventions of familiar sculptural tropes. Hudson’s hands-on relationship with his diverse materials – most often marble, wood, steel or bronze – produces organic, polished work that is at once timeless and contemporary. Exploring the canon of Western sculpture and changing approaches to beauty, Hudson’s smooth and sensual sculptures concern not only the fields of art and art history but also psychology, anthropology and philosophy. Hudson’s sculptures, which range in size from miniature to monumental, employ exaggeration and even humor to veil underlying essences of form and beauty.

Drawing inspiration from sculptors such as Henry Moore, Jean Arp and Constantin Brancusi, Hudson’s refined and dynamic work is frequently emblematic of the human figure. His free imaginations of form, often executed in reflective surfaces that create surreal images of the surrounding environment, frequently hint at interpretation through their titles alone. His sculptures often connote female power, femininity and fertility.

Hudson lives and works in Madrid. He has had a number of solo and group exhibitions in galleries around the world. He has exhibited in Beijing, China; Leeds, England; London, England; Dallas, Texas; Marbella, Spain; Valencia, Spain; and Mallorca, Spain.
