I've searched the deepest, darkest recesses of my soul, to find a new direction and focus. Having completed my Masters Degree in Fine Art last year with DMU, I wanted to reassess Identity and engage with related issues such as 'Memory' and 'Consciousness' in a darker more extreme way. My latest studio work is concerned with 'Human Potentials', which is something I've been researching a great deal, and indeed forms the subject of my latest site www.modelhuman.com.

With unlimited time, resources and energy what would be possible, or more importantly what would we choose to do?

RIVER HUNT (May 2008)

Now a year into River Hunt's quest for the savaged roots of identity, it appears answers are firmly in sight, despite their cryptic nature.

"People assume that identity is a fixed ideal, that it's somehow solidified in mind, if not in reality. the truth is very different. I am an artist, I create questions from line and colour, and fight on the battlefield of my own mind, and ultimately the collective unconscious. my identity is not that of an artist, but of something more absract, more intangible. life is theater, and art is the stage."

RIVER HUNT (2006)

28-Mar-2006: Having spent the past 6 months working on new material, River Hunt speaks on the influence of the Celebritarian Corportation art movement, founded by Marilyn Manson:

"We cut ourselves out of cardboard so many times that the scissors become blunt. For me, Celebritarianism is a concept, a direction, like DaDa and Surrealism, it's something in which creativity and imagination are fundamental and valued above all else. it's about believing in yourself and your ability to change the world with the things that you create, it's time to kick down every remaining door, and walk free."

RIVER HUNT (2006)

12-Feb-2006: Identity section updated with several new works, including 'My Life in Post-it Notes'. River Hunt has also confirmed that his next major work will be based on the Human Genome Project and scheduled for completion Spring-2006, although no further details are available at the stage.

15-Nov-2005: Gallery updated with a series of River Hunt's latest work, titled 'the truth about you'. The paintings are due to feature in a up-coming exhibition of his work, along with a journal, which is at yet untitled.
