Hudson Luthringshausen's art career would eventually formalize with gallery exhibitions (LMU, Los Angeles, Chicago Arts), rogue pop-ups (Soho House, Hub51, Eataly), and high-profile collaborations like live-painting Lady Gaga's Joanne reveal at the 2016 BBMAs or various hoop collabs with Jarret Ellis of (hoopdreamsstudio).
But hands-on, crafty exploration was really an early interest for Hudson.
Lincoln logs, Legos, tinfoil villages and sketching comic superheros led to classes in sculpture and drawing and constant forays into art schooling. Artwork made by Hudson throughout grade school, for example, was regularly selected for student exhibitions; these pieces still hang today in Hudson and the family's private collections.
During high school, while playing varsity golf and maintaining quality grades, Hudson kept an eye on the arts by taking not one but two sculpture workshops as well as introductory schooling in the rigors of calligraphy, typography, and graphic-web design.
By college, although he "majored" in English studies, Hudson was well-accustomed to diverting extracurricular and elective credits towards the arts. In his undergraduate studies at Loyola Marymount (2014–18), Hudson completed workshops in drawing, and worked through introductions to printmaking workshops before committing further in his junior-senior year to the printmaking studio with Silkscreen Printing studies and, finally, an independent study in silkscreen printing with Maggie Lomeli, who was a key instructor and well of wisdom for Hudson in the arts.
Hudson's linocut portrait of Steve McQueen was selected for the 2017 Young Contemporaries Exhibition at Loyola Marymount's Thomas P. Kelly, Jr. Student Art Gallery.
Hudson also held a solo exhibition titled "Introducing Anartchy" in the Laband Gallery at Loyola Marymount University in 2017 before a flurry of exhibitions and projects from 2018–2020.
Hudson Luthringshausen's artwork is influenced by his childhood travel; visiting museums allowed Hudson to encounter fine arts from all around the world. He thanks his mother, Kiki, and his grandfather, Wayne, especially for their tenacious curiosity — their encouragement and engagement with the arts as valuable cultural experience and cathartic pursuits set an early example & led to his lifelong interest in creative crafts.
