Jacob Dudley

Jacob Dudley’s new abstract paintings are color and rhythm explorations. They showcase various color palettes based on his experience with the landscape. At times they go beyond this in order to push uncanny color interactions to broaden the experience of abstract painting. With artist’s residencies in Joshua Tree, California and Skagastrond, Iceland, Jacob’s desire to connect with unique places of beauty is apparent. He currently teaches 2­Dimensional design and Color Theory in North Carolina.

Jacob Dudley has been painting for about 25 years now and has been through many phases of discovery and exploration with his art. He fell in love with landscape painting during his study at the Columbus College of Art & Design. Painting the landscape was the biggest artistic challenge he had faced to that point. It also connected him back to nature and the outdoors that he had so greatly enjoyed as a child.

He recently has painted landscapes from visits to Iceland and the Grand Canyon. In the cold and the heat he painted from life, absorbing the magic and awe of both geographies.
