BIOGRAPHY

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

As a fine artist whose disciplines are drawing and multimedia, Scott Hunt produces highly-skilled, enigmatic work that has a very strong narrative element. His most recent series, “SMILE!,” is feminist-themed and combines charcoal drawings of Victorian women with three-dimensional, modern-day beauty objects to create what are essentially objets d’art.

Hunt has had seven solo shows in the U.S. and Europe and has been included in many group exhibitions, including “Hard Art: Unruly Selections from the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection” at The Museum of Sex, Miami. As an illustrator, Hunt’s work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times, The New Yorker, Harpers, The Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, and GQ Magazine.

Hunt has been awarded residencies at The Yaddo Corporation and The Bogliasco Center. He is the recipient of the FID Prize for Drawing as well as grants from The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA), The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and The New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). His work is included in many international collections, including Colecção Madeira Corporate Services Drawing Collection (Portugal) and The Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection (West Palm Beach). 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.
