Ricky Hunt
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 of the artwork so they can be installed horizontally as well as vertically. His success started with his first sold-out exhibition at Artspace Warehouse in Los Angeles in 2016 which led to an international collector base of notable celebrities and major exhibitions worldwide.
