About Tony Hunt RI

Artist's Statement

My images are essentially drawn from landscape. They explore the thresholds between possibility, probability and certainty in the identification of that which is represented. They give rise to a number of themes which are interwoven to produce pictures amalgamating experience, ideas, imagination and observation.

Method of Working

I work in any media and method appropriate to the task in hand. For developing the themes and images I exhibit, my currently preferred medium is acrylic paint. I frequently multi-layer paint, with masked-out and exposed areas showing through top layers, and the relatively quick-drying properties of acrylic paints are good for this purpose.I am equally at home with other water-based paints, using traditional watercolour techniques for commissioned paintings and illustrations. Many illustrations require figurative and finely-detailed work, and watercolour is generally my preference for this style of painting. The overall range of media I use is wide: from oil paint to occasional printmaking techniques, and to digital photography and computer-generated imagery. Although drawing and directly manipulative methods are fundamental to my work, this cross-referencing of experience in other media is essential to provide a wider ‘vocabulary’ for visual statement.
