Playtime - Craig Hudson

Craig Hudson’s sculpture plays with confusion and contradiction. He subverts the expectations of bronze, a medium that has been used to depict classical characters from Greek and Roman mythology, with their perfect and immortal forms. His figures are human and flawed, with a mix of naivety and vulnerability, strength and capability. Hudson’s work, like the artist, is quiet and yet cool, immersed in popular culture references that are instantly engaging.

Original cast bronze sculpture

With his sculptures Playtime and Playtime II, Craig Hudson captures the fun and innocence of childhood.

He uses bronze to create realistic figures of children wearing sheets over their heads, as if they are playing pretend. The sculptures may seem sinister at first glance, but they are not meant to be taken too seriously.

They reflect the simple and imaginative nature of children and their untapped powers of imagination, where anything can become a game. The artist invites us to remember the simpler times; our own childhood, when we had no worries and endless possibilities. We could be ghosts, superheroes, or invisible, depending on our mood. The sculptures remind us that the only limit is our own imagination.
