Pick of the Day – Patrick Hunt

Tuesday, November 24, 2009
By V P Holmes

Patrick W. Hunt was born on the island of Jamaica and immersed himself in the West Indian and African Culture. He was influenced by both his love of art and music. Patrick grew up listening to music and took piano lessons at the age of six. The most pivotal time for Patrick’s development as a painter began when he immigrated to the United States at the age of 13 and began taking art classes in high school. Patrick attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York for a year prior to enlisting in the U.S. Navy. He lived in Hawaii, and other parts of the Pacific and toured many of the islands during this period. During his travels Patrick became a true lover of painting. His use of oils, acrylics and water colors, shows in his works the years he has spent on mastering his craft.

This richness of Patrick’s background, coupled with his relative artistic exposure to the globe have been formative to Patrick’s work. The paintings are stylistically distinctive and rooted in his West Indian/African background. Each of his paintings are representative of his understanding of world culture, whether depicting an individual, a group, landscapes, animals, or pieces which represents the places he has visited or places he dreams of visiting some day: they all represent his lvoe for and respect of the vibrant culture which has been cirtical in the development of his unique artistic vision. His favorite painters are: Georgia O’Keeffe, Claude Monet and Norman Rockwell.
