It's never about the paint or the canvas. It's always about digging deep enough to stir the soul."
“The Hustle” Acrylic on Canvas, 36’’x48’’x1.5’’
A
s an artist with stories to tell, Newel Hunter's artworks are deep and mysterious, using highly physical gestural marks to create endless possible interpretations. Even at their most abstract, his canvases speak to the viewer, replacing words with paint that is scraped and spread into fluid, sculptural compositions. The landscapes of love and loss transition between light and dark to communicate life and death stories, exploration, and unrequited passion.

The reduction of color in Hunter's work intensifies the impact of the application, where each mark upon the canvas leaves a spectral trace, like an exoskeleton waiting for flesh. This can be seen in his 'Tales of Dark and Light' collection, which feature translucent forms with only hints of substance and color, dancing upon deep black surfaces in the artist's unique calligraphic style. Hunter's artworks are widely represented in collections within and outside the U.S. He has exhibited extensively in regional and national juried shows and has been featured in major international publications.
