About the Item
Ricky Hunt’s work is influenced by Egyptian hieroglyphs, graffiti and his tumultuous past that led to a paradigm shift in creativity and life. He covers the canvas with unique imagery and geometric script, evoking the many experiences of his life. The harmony of the overall composition finds its way through his intricate markings into a cohesive visual statement. Hidden within the patterns and markings are limitless points of interest, constantly revealing new meanings for us to discover. 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.
This one-of-a-kind original painting is 46 inch tall by 36 inch wide. Ricky Hunt used a translucent layer of rust paint, adding mystery and depth to this artwork. The artist used neon orange acrylic paint underneath rust paint to create this artwork. It is wired and ready to hang. The sides of the artwork are painted black, and it does not require framing. It is signed and titled by the artist on the back of the artwork. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable US and global shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity is included.
Hunt's works reflect how he brought order into the chaos of his earlier existence. Philosophy, mathematics, scientific theory, poetry, and astronomy are a few of the themes that run through his paintings and he expresses them with unique imagery. Hunt describes his contemporary imagery as, “Chaotic order pouring from the watery depths of my unconscious”. He divides his artworks into segments enveloped in a singular, intense hue. Drawing inspiration from the symbolic dualism found in the works of Kandinsky, this painting harmonizes opposing colors with a tactile finesse. The artist employs a process akin to a subtractive technique, scratching away layers to expose the latent chromatic narrative beneath.
Ricky Hunt lives and paints in Los Angeles. Hunt began to teach himself to draw in 1995. Nine months later Tiger Woods’ father Earl, commissioned a pastel portrait that 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. He found inspiration in artists such as Basquiat, Haring, and Rothko.
Ricky Hunt's success started with his first sold-out exhibition at Artspace Warehouse in Los Angeles in 2016 which led to an international collector base and exhibitions worldwide. Notable private collectors include Kelly Clarkson, Graeme Hart, Sonia Livingstone, and Charles Harder.
