An exploration in colour and texture.
Hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, the impetus behind Puddys’ need to create abstract forms as an expression of what lay beneath the concrete world of our material realities, was enshrined within his adolescent years. In essence, it is through nebulous shapes and archaic smears of colour that his work lends itself to innumerable interpretations.
Currently ensconced within the heart of Melbourne, Puddys’ recent offerings have engaged with the ‘local’ audience at Black Cat Café in Fitzroy and Daddys’ Bar in Brunswick; in which an idiosyncratic genre was presented as Abstract Mechanism. In this collection, an impressionistic pallet collides with science fiction; coupled with prose written exclusively to accentuate the ambiguous premise on which Puddys’ art relies.
