Philosophy, mathematics, scientific theory, poetry, and astronomy are a few of the themes that run through his paintings and he expresses it with a constructed script and unique imagery. Hunt describes his contemporary text-based art, graffiti markings, and cartoon-like imagery as “chaotic order pouring from the watery depths of my unconscious”.

Ricky Hunt lives in the Los Angeles area. A brief period of drug addiction in the 1980's led to a term of incarceration for the artist. This in turn led to the discovery of his artistic talent and personal transformation through the love of art. He found inspiration in artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.

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 contemporary painting approach seen today. His works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles and have been exhibited at galleries and art fairs internationally, including New York, Zurich, Hong Kong, and London.

R Hunt, a renowned Los Angeles artist celebrated for his captivating acrylic and mixed media artworks on canvas, draws inspiration from a diverse array of influences including Egyptian hieroglyphics, graffiti, and his own personal experiences. His artistic journey has been a testament to his passion for art and the transformative power it holds. Philosophy, mathematics, scientific theory, poetry, and astronomy infuse his works, continually reemerging as recurring themes.

One of Hunt's most striking artistic expressions emerges through his string artworks, which showcase his exceptional skill in creating hyperrealistic portraits. Utilizing only string and nails, he meticulously winds single lengths of black thread around thousands of nails embedded in a white wood panel. The result is a mesmerizing three-dimensional artwork that captivates the senses and brings the subjects to life with remarkable precision.

Hunt's artistic journey has been one of immense success, catapulted by his inaugural sold-out exhibition in Los Angeles in 2016. This triumph served as a catalyst, propelling him onto the international stage and building a devoted base of collectors who eagerly seek out his exhibitions worldwide. With each new creation, Ricky Hunt continues to leave an indelible mark on the art world, inspiring awe and admiration through his masterful technique, profound artistic vision, and unwavering dedication to his craft.
