Lives and works United Kingdom.
Matthew Hunt is a mid-career artist who works across multiple media, yet the scraperboard has become a mainstay signature within his practice. This pre-digital design method is constantly refreshed by Hunt's canny use of text in visual form. Characteristic to his work is an acute sense of observation and how ideas and experiences within our periphery can be simultaneously fleeting, profound, wry or misguided. His work straddles the ordinariness of the quotidian with the depth of human experience and emotion. Hunt currently resides in the UK having developed a distinct voice in art from within his Western Australian origins.
