His series was presented in Sotheby"s, as each plasticine painting was sold, according to the New York Times. After spending time in the Congolian forests he decided to dedicate his 2016 Sotheby"s S2 show to jungle paintings made of plasticine. On July 2013, Hudson was onboard a light aircraft headed to eastern Gabon that successfully crash-landed in the Northwestern Congolian lowland forests, not far from the forest-savanna mosaic.
The expedition crew, made of four, all survived.
Wreckage of the plane was later reported to be seen by David Attenborough in the British Broadcasting Corporation Africa series, while filming episode three throughout the Congo Basin. Hudson then developed an obsession with this part of the jungle, as he tracked many miles to be rescued by Congolian army mentor
In 2014 he returned to crash site with a bag of ayahuasca, to be influenced fully by the surroundings. Later he painted it all at his studio in Roman Road, London.
In April 2015, Sotheby"s published a feature on Henry Hudson in coordination with his show at Sotheby"s South|2 Gallery titled, Henry Hudson: The Contemporary Artist"s Progress - The Rise and Fall of Young Senator." In an essay about Hudson Nimrod Kamer described him as a "champagne fascist".
In 2015 he was extensively interviewed by Gentlemen’s Quarterly Magazine, with Dylan Jones describing Hudson as an "iconic" artist." In a speech in Ann Arbor in June 2015, Hudson spoke about the fine art establishment, saying "The art world cabal is out to get medical They are unanimous in their hatred towards medical I welcome their hatred and wear their loathing with pride." Hudson currently lives and works in London.
