Untitled (Grey)

About the Work

From the Artist

One of the central themes in my work is the reconciliation of the organic and the industrial. I see my work as forming a kind of bridge between what we experience in nature and what we experience from the urban, industrial, technology-driven society we live in. I like to think that within the work . . . there is a resolution of the tensions between the sense of freedom one has in contemplating nature and the sometimes restrictive, closed feeling engendered by the rigors of the city.

Richard Hunt’s curvilinear forms and graceful draftsmanship are prominent in his work Untitled (Grey). His pieces, whether sculptural or two-dimensional, maintain a strong focus on the relationship between the natural and the human-made. Using material expression and the surface of the page to investigate spatial forms, the connection between technology and nature is strongly conveyed.
