Dirk Hudson

Dirk Hudson is a contemporary sculptor whose figural works fuse forged blackened steel with patinated copper and beeswax. His pieces stand as quiet monuments — hooded figures and ancestral forms in which the cold weight of the metal is broken open by warm copper veins, faces and roots. The result is a body of work that feels both ancient and intimate.

Two standing sentinels in textured blackened steel rise from a steel base, copper veins creeping upward like molten roots. The taller figure carries a single copper face — a meditation on lineage, presence and ancestry. Steel, copper and beeswax.

A fan of slender copper leaves rises from a single hammered stem, the patina ranging from sunset orange through deep umber to flashes of green-blue oxidation. Set on a textured copper base. Solid copper.
