The notion of illuminating an ‘idea’ sounds straightforward, yet for Pudvine, it is something he struggles to totally understand. “I don't know why some ideas pass the test to become paintings and why some do not. I'm hoping that in the making of the work itself, the painting will tell me.” This tension of conscious and unconscious, light and dark, life and death is peppered throughout the artist’s life.

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.
