Artist short biography

The first thing you might notice with Michaels work is his use of colour. His work stands out due not only due to their vibrance and clarity but the use of colour is quite magical. Blending specific harmonies and combinations which stem from feeling and emotion. You will never see a Michael Hunter piece overloaded with too many colours. When you look at a Michael Hunter piece you are mesmerized by the way he manipulates marks shapes and colours work in harmony to produce thought-provoking and inspiring pieces. Michael's love of art began at a very early age when he used to enjoy drawing and painting. Michaels style developed when at art college at the age of 16. Here he was inspired by the works of David Bomberg. It was the use of colour and the expressive manner that inspired Michael. Then, at the age of 18, Michael's work began to change and develop. He began to realise that there was much more to art than just trying to render and copy what was infront of him. He was inspired again by trips to galleries and by working alongside other artists who used abstraction within their work. Michael started to create in a kind of semi abstract way. He discovered that there was a new way ahead and a way that he knew was right for him. He could free up and express himself and use music as part of the process. Often Michael works to uplifting soulful house music and tries to bring that euphoric feeling into his creations. He believes that art should not be something of a chore but something which only happens at those times and moments when the mood and feeling is just right. His awards include a Fine Art Degree achieved in 1994 at The Cumbria College Of Art & Design Carlisle, Cumbria in the UK. Michael has exhibited throughout the UK at top art fairs and had his work shown in a number of galleries. Michaels art style is often a perfect style for very modern interiors and therefore used by interior designers around the world to finish their modern interior projects. Michael's digital pieces can be separated into two styles. An expressive abstract expressionist style showing overlapping brush marks and textures. These expressive pieces start by Michael actually experimenting with paint and photography before digitally collaging the elements. Michael also creates pure hard edge digital pieces which are usually very minimalistic in appearance and again with limited colour palette often using simge colours with various tones, shades and hues. It just depends on what type of brief he is asked to work to by clients and interior designers.

Differences between Emerging, Mid-career and Established Artists

Emerging Artist

An Emerging Artist is someone who’s in the early stage of his or her career. Someone who’s caught the eye of an art critic and/or gallery but hasn’t yet established a solid reputation as an artist amongst art critics, art buyers, and art galleries. Independent of his or her chronological age, this individual has created a modest independent body of work.

Mid-career Artist

The Mid-career Artist is an artist who has created an independent body of work over a number of years and who has received regional or national recognition through publications or public presentations of his or her work. A Mid-career Artist has had a significant number of solo exhibitions at significant galleries and museums, located nationally or internationally.

Established Artist

An artist who is in the Established stage in his or her career has created an extensive body of independent work. He or she has reached an advanced level of achievement by sustaining a nationally or internationally recognized contribution to the discipline, and his or her work’s value has been decided through consistent years of sales and confirmed at auction.
