C.H.U.D.Z.

  • Chudzcard_large

"Chudz," according to Urban Dictionary, is a term that can mean either sex or a "complete and utter" pimp (although said entry was authored by one Andy Chudz, which may raise doubts). But, if the art world is anything like prostitution, then the three artists featured at Cinders' C.H.U.D.Z. certainly know how to work the petit bourgeois of today's favorite deformed subculture (though they're small fries compared to Hirst and Koons' work on their mega-wealthy fan club). A collage-explosion of lambent quilted patterns are both lighthearted and eerily subdued in Richard Colman's work; Alex Barry's cartoon doodles bring junior-high notebook nostalgia; while Josh Slater's recent images of metaphysical shrines explore architecture, Egyptian deserts, and galaxies along the way.

    CHUD already had a meaning. It stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller, a term taken from an '80's movie by the same name about the human-eating creatures who live underneath New York City. Check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.H.U.D.
