The River Hunt Art Blog, showcases my paintings, digital art, net.art, poetry & prose.
I’ve been creating various forms of artwork ever since I can remember, but it wasn’t until 1999 when I started painting in a traditional sense, and around 2003 when I began writing. I’ve had various websites during that time, all created with the intention of providing a space to share my creative works with others.
My artwork is focused on the core themes of human experience; including Identity, which was the focus of my Masters Degree in Fine Art. You will find a page dedicated to Identity & Art here
Like everyone, I’m inspired & influenced by every experience of life, good and bad. Art for me is the expression of a question, and it’s through my interaction with the world, that these questions are uncovered. I read a lot, Hesse has been very influential in my work, especially Sidhartha and Steppenwolf, along with the poetry of T.S Eliot, specifically ‘The Waste Land’. In terms of visual art influences, Francis Bacon, Picasso, Gottfried Helnwein, Ana Mendieta & Frida Kahlo, have captivated my imagination, and are certainly influences to my work.
This blog is dedicated to my artwork, in both visual and written forms. You can navigate by category and in time-line sequence. I’m always very interested to hear from other creative people, collectors and anyone with an interest in art. If you’d like to get in touch you can e-mail me using the contact form.
