Chris Hunt is a nationally recognized artist who specializes in charcoal and pastel drawings, along with bronze sculpture. His realistic portrayals of past and present figures bring their unique stories to life with remarkable detail and drama. He has a breathtaking flair for capturing and evoking emotion in every work, ranging from the noble and striking Native American, to the historic vaquero and the hard-working American Cowboy.
He Sees Beyond the Setting Sun, bronze, 26 x 13 x 16 in.“I use my work to build a bridge from the past to the present and awaken the senses through vivid realism and bold composition,” Hunt says. “I want the deep tones of my charcoal to convey the feeling of yesteryear, to pull one’s imagination to a place they’ve never been before, to live the story of my subject and then, with a touch of brilliant color in pastel, the viewer is transported to the here and now while still being engrossed in history.”
Long Day, charcoal and pastel, 20 x 20 in.For his sculpture work, the artist notes that “my sculptures exist to enable a spiritual trip in the round. This experience in the third dimension is romantic retrospect, come to life. I find myself a guide to a place so captivating to my soul that it’s my responsibility to make the West our rendezvous.”
Zuni Blue, charcoal and pastel, 42 x 35 in.
