BIOGRAPHY

Born: 1958, Ossining, New York
Education: 1981, BFA, Parsons School of Design

As a fine artist whose discipline is drawing, Scott Hunt produces charcoal and pastel works on paper that are narrative and/or allegorical in nature. Robert Goff, Director at David Zwirner in LA, says that the works have “intensely enigmatic and mysterious subject matter. The viewer encounters a vision of America that is at once sympathetic, humorous, and apocalyptic.”

Hunt has had seven solo shows in the U.S. and Europe and has been included in many group exhibitions including “Really?” at Wilding Cran Gallery (Los Angeles), curated by the esteemed American collector, Beth Rudin deWoody. As an illustrator, Hunt’s work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times, The New Yorker, Harpers, The Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, The Boston Globe, and GQ Magazine. 

Hunt is the recipient of the 2017 FID Prize for Drawing, as well as a Fellowship from The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), a grant from The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and is a Yaddo Fellow. His work is included in many international collections, including Colecção Madeira Corporate Services Drawing Collection in Portugal. His drawings are part of the permanent collection of contemporary art at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem and The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, Los Angeles.
