Since 1988, Nick Fudge's art practice has been situated at the intersection of painting, art history, digital culture, and the philosophy of technology. His work explores the evolving relationship between traditional painting techniques and emerging digital languages. While his paintings draw on art history to reflect on how technological frameworks affect our perception of reality, his digital work explores analogue and digital languages and objects, and how these forms inform and transform each other. Using a wide range of digital and analogue tools, the artist's studio output includes: painting, collage, digital image, moving image/animation, NFTs, GIFs, and prints on various substrates - including paper, acrylic, and metal. 

Fudge is particularly influenced by Marcel Duchamp's concepts of 'delay' and ‘low-output’ as a means to create rarity in a body of work. Taking a cue from Duchamp, Fudge spent 25 years 'underground,' keeping his digital works in storage from 1994 to 2015 before making a limited number publicly available. This approach empowered Fudge to maintain control over the style, development, and conceptual structures of his work that is free from market influences and results in a collection of digital works that remain private, rarely seen, and that steadily preserve their intrinsic value over time.
