The promising artist Hugo McCloud shows his tremendous ability for being a resourceful man in art. In fact, the Brooklyn-based painter artist uses material that he was comfortable with, without following the basic art processes. 

Hugo McCloud worked as an industrial designer and he was into fabricating custom projects for architects and interior designers before he ended up to be a painter. In his previous work, it was really obvious how he made his masterpiece by using unorthodox materials like tar paper and aluminum foil during his latest solo exhibition at New York's Sean Kelly Gallery.

The art dealer, Sean Kelly announced the solo exhibition of McCloud in a gallery last December night together with the dinner guests. But still the piece will be veiled up to January 21st and it was McCloud first single gallery show in New York, according to Forbes.

According to Artnet News, McCloud told them in a phone conversation that his work was a "process-oriented" and his piece was made by "construction-based material" like roofing paper and liquid tar. He also explained how he was engaged to the said art with no knowledge how to work on canvas by using a traditional art making tools such as brushes as a primary equipment in painting that wasn't his expertise

The inspirable thirty-six years old artist, Hugo McCloud traveled to Bataan in the Philippines at Bellas Artes Projects and spend almost three months to make his masterpiece in a calm town. In fact, he has the ability to reuse material that really helped him with his art.

He also used discarded furniture onto wooden blocks to carve out patterns.McCloud artistry was alike with the two artists, such as Katharina Grosse that utilized of an industrial spray gun to generate her large-scale work and Jackson Pollock who comprises his art of house paint.
