About Scott Sueme
Residing in and working from the city of Vancouver, Scott Sueme’s paintings are rooted in a deep exploration of materials, with an eye for the quality and perception of colour. In his work colour manifests as an abstraction of various elements of life, interacting to recall memories, capture the passage of time or connect with the subconscious. Sueme’s hard-edge painting techniques create a subtlety of depth that reveals a new resonance to colour and an admission of the human hand.

About Cody Hudson:
Working right in between the two worlds of art and design, Cody Hudson knows as no other how to create fine balance between the two. His use of graphic lines, compositions and a refined color palette makes his graphic design look like art, and vice versa. Exploring the elemental use of shapes is at the foreground of Cody’s work, trying to figure out how shapescan work together in perfect harmony. The shapes are elementary, but at the same time immensely complex, and Cody is here to make sense of it all.
