Artist Statement

Colin Hunt’s paintings sit at the crossroads of memory, loss, and ecology. By examining the physical and spatial dynamics of temporality, his paintings grapple with ways in which the residue of experience can animate and recast the natural world. Hunt considers how death reorders existence for all who are left in its wake, forever reshaping reality around the void of the missing.

By recognizing that environments also experience memory and loss, the works not only point to the uncertainty of life following great change, but to the impossibility of physical bodies containing all of anything, and the ways these states inhabit our present.
