Now open at Louis Buhl
Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present a new exhibition with Chicago-based artist Cody Hudson, titled It’s Alright Cause I Know My Own Way Back Home From Here, and opening October 18, 2025. The show will feature new paintings on linen and canvas, a series of works on paper, and three of Hudson’s signature powder coated aluminum sculptures.
Hudson’s work is defined by a recurring vocabulary of shapes grounded in the language of abstraction, where organic and geometric forms drawn from both the external and internal world converge. In It’s Alright Cause I Know My Own Way Back Home From Here, references to landscapes and still lifes sit alongside forms that channel ongoing themes of loneliness, hopefulness, darkness and positivity. His paintings layer these motifs into compositions that are at once meditative and playful, balancing introspection with optimism.
The exhibition marks Hudson’s first experiments with shaped panels, expanding the flat surface into more sculptural territory. This impulse carries through to the three aluminum sculptures on view, which echo forms found in his paintings, creating a visual dialogue of repetition across media. Several new works also employ internal repetition—images mirrored within themselves at smaller scales—suggesting cycles of time and the ebb and flow of contemporary life; “It’s with these I was thinking about time and space and the push and pull of the world we are living in,” Hudson explains.
During the run of the exhibition, Hudson will produce a letterpress print with Signal Return, a Detroit nonprofit dedicated to preserving and teaching traditional letterpress printing. The edition will compliment the works on view, altogether showcasing an expansive view of Hudson’s practice, and highlighting how his visual language translates fluidly across various media and techniques.
Additionally, a collaboration with Michigan-born record label Ghostly International will also debut at the gallery and on Ghostly.com afterward. This capsule will consist of a short-sleeve and long-sleeve tee, an embroidered hat, and a full-zip sweatshirt with graphics based on artwork from the show.
Cody Hudson: It’s Alright Cause I Know My Own Way Back Home From Here is on view From October 18, 2025 through January 14, 2026 at Louis Buhl & Co.

Had a good time speaking at UIC School of Design the other week. I showed some rave flyers, Chocolate Industries records, Stussy t shirts, murals, Nike “higher than air” collection, sculptures, Ecology Center graphics and more and rambled on about my love for shapes and colors. Was nice to chat after with some of the students as well as some old friends who came to check it out. Thanks to Norman Teague and Dakota Brown for the invite and extra thanks to Dakota for the poster design.
