Ricky Hunt

Ricky Hunt, a highly acclaimed artist known for his international success, draws inspiration from the intricate layers of life, delving into themes of philosophy, mathematics, scientific theory, poetry, and astronomy. His abstract art serves as a captivating exploration of the interplay between organic and geometric shapes, inviting viewers into a world of profound meaning and personal reflection. Hunt's artistic journey has been marked by a transformation towards minimalism, where he skillfully crafts mixed media pieces that encapsulate his own evolution and growth.

Having embarked on his artistic journey in 1995, Hunt's initial exploration of traditional drawing techniques soon gave way to a distinctive style that would define his career. Through his meticulous approach, Hunt applies and removes layers of acrylic paint, revealing the underlying evolution of color and texture beneath. This process mirrors the layers of his own life, symbolizing the journey from chaos to harmony. The surfaces of his works are further elevated by a final touch: an application of lustrous resin. This glossy coating not only adds a smooth and reflective finish but also serves as a metaphorical representation of the intriguing depth found within the layers of his art.

Ricky Hunt is a contemporary artist known for his distinctive mid-century modern minimalist mixed media artworks.

Much of Hunt’s work is influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphics, graffiti, and his tumultuous past. Hunt began to teach himself to draw in 1995. Nine months later Tiger Woods’ father Earl commissioned a pastel portrait which he described as "The best portrait of Tiger ever painted." From this foundation grounded in traditional drawing skills, Hunt's work transformed into his current style.

Hunt is inspired by philosophy, mathematics, scientific theory, poetry, and astronomy and these themes appear in his work repeatedly.  He describes his chosen imagery as, "Chaotic order pouring from the watery depths of my unconscious.” Combining his love for the clean lines and organic forms of mid-century modern design with the allure of minimalism, he embarked on her artistic journey, aiming to evoke a sense of tranquility and nostalgia in his art.

His mixed media minimalist works reflect how he brought order into the disorder of his earlier existence. Adding depth and intrigue to his creations, he covers the wood panel with layers of acrylic paint, removing some layers in the process to reveal the underlying evolution of color. His works evoke the many layers of his life. The top layer is covered with shiny resin, adding a smooth reflective finish to the intriguing depth of his surfaces.

The harmony of the overall composition results in a cohesive visual statement. Hidden within the layers are limitless points of interest, constantly revealing new intricacies for us to discover. He signs his works on the back so they can hang in any direction.

Ricky Hunt's artistic prowess and introspective narratives have garnered him global recognition and acclaim. His mesmerizing creations transcend traditional boundaries, resonating deeply with audiences who are captivated by the fusion of abstract forms and the profound stories they convey. With each piece, Hunt invites viewers to embark on their own personal journey of exploration, intertwining art, life, and the boundless realms of the imagination.

His success started with his first sold-out exhibition in Los Angeles in 2016 which led to an international collector base of notable celebrities and major exhibitions worldwide.
