Glen Pudvine
Glen Pudvine is a figurative painter working across themes of identity, existentialism, the everyday, pop culture and medieval and renaissance iconography. Searching for connections between these themes and experiences from the artists life, Pudvine hopes to create new motifs that communicate a broader curiosity of who we are and where we are.
