Studio’s own mixed-media maven Sam Tudyk is showing new works at Tilde. Reflecting a new approach — both technically and conceptually — the work is more painterly and personal. A fresh departure for those familiar with her more graphic oeuvre. On display through the end of the December.
Go support her!
This is a little of what she says about the work you just saw:
This collection of works was made with my 2 year old nephew in mind. He lives in Montenegro and travels to the U.S. once a year. With a passport photo taken at 6 months old, cross-country traveling under his belt, and two parents teaching him English and Serbian simultaneously, his mind is quickly shaping in a broad way.
I enjoy continuously experimenting with new combinations of materials. The evolution of process during this show led me to rolling paint and stitching on cereal boxes. I rendered the same compostion several times in different ways to compare how the differences in color temperature, a repositioning of an object or an alternate media application can change a piece of artwork. I collected several pieces of the work in-progress into a book and have them on display along with the finished artwork. I hope this can give the viewer a glimpse of the lengthy process of decision making and experimentation that is often involved in the creation of a collection of art.

Love your work! I always have!
Thanks for the insight into how much work and thought goes into your art. The new pieces are fabulous.
I can hardly wait to see what’s next. I hope 2010 is your best year yet!!!
