Solo exhibition (title TBC), CLC Gallery Venture, 798 Art District, Beijing, China. Curated by 周翊 Zhou Yi.
Sedition—Saatchi Gallery—Digitalism Art Fair, London
Fudge's third Sedition collection, Cubist Guitars in Digital Color Space launches September 25, 2025.
Cubist Guitars in Digital Color Space revisits Nick Fudge’s early digital works through the lens of contemporary Gen-AI, creating recursive feedback loops between past and future—where each cycle of reanimation generates unexpected, new outcomes.
Originally based on a 2010s animation featuring nine stylised cubist guitars, the series draws on multiple layers of reference: Picasso’s early modernist guitar constructions, Jasper Johns’s 1960s investigations into the syntax of painting, Warhol’s Pop embrace of mechanical reproduction, and Fudge’s own long-standing engagement with the materiality of digital tools...
In late 2024, 尼克•福吉 Nick Fudge's intentionally hidden, interventionist, and site-specific artwork was installed in Lop Nor, a region of the Gobi Desert in China.
Curated and organized by 周翊 Zhou Yi.
Hidden from human eyes, deep in the desolate vastness of the Gobi Desert, PataPaint is a hidden sign—a work designed for nowhere and everywhere, at once present and absent. This solar-powered beacon of absurdity thrives where no one dares go, and yet, it signals.
PataPaint is not for conventional art lovers. It is a 'pataphysical work designed to mock and transcend your notions of what art and the artist can be. Created by Nick Fudge, PataPaint expresses ineffable insights of metaphysical intuition and reality-unreality perception.
