Artistic career
Hodges studied art at the Alexander Mackie CAE graduating with a Dip Art (Ed) and first began exhibiting his work in the late 1970s.Anne Sanders, 'Profile: Christopher Hodges', ''Artist Profile'', Issue 22, 2013 His first solo exhibition was at Coventry Gallery, Sydney in 1979, and he has held over 30 solo exhibitions since then. Over his career, Hodges has worked in painting, drawing, printing and sculpture. Much of his work, across mediums, has been interested in organic geometry: "I have done a lot of works that use geometry but at the same time I have done a lot of works with what looks like repeated forms when, in fact, every curve is different.

Major public sculpture commissions include 'Flower for a Friend' (2010), at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, and 'The White Flower' (2009) commissioned by the Mosman Municipal Council for Hunter Park, Balmoral.Gallery career
