This limited edition etching is printed on woven paper and created to celebrate the display at the Sir John Soane's Museum of a selection of Henry Hudson’s large-scale 'paintings' in plasticine of William Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress. Henry Hudson has created just 30 of these etchings by the traditional method as used from the 15th Century. They will be available for a limited period only.
Henry Hudson became fascinated by Hogarth as a student at Central St Martins, admiring the satirical cruelty of his work as well as its humour. As part of his exploration of Hogarthian themes in Britain’s modern psyche, Hudson began working on his own version of A Rake’s Progress nearly two years ago in his London studio, next to where Hogarth was born.
Henry Hudson is an emerging young artist at the very beginning of his career and very much following in the footsteps of the 'YBAs'. He has been described by Richard Dorment, art critic at The Daily Telegraph, as 'a remarkable young painter ', has already exhibited internationally and at several London galleries including a solo show at the Trolley gallery.
Dimensions: 37cm x 57cm.
