“I don’t endeavour to imitate nature, but to make work inspired by it, and through this, to communicate the spirit of life force coming into being. Subject matter is often revealed through play and exploration of the materials themselves; this, and a fascination with the quiet energy of botanical forms, has underpinned my work”
Sue Hunt’s work is based around botanically-inspired forms, complemented by an abstract approach to composition. Fluid paint applications and more precise drawing often contrasting with each other within the same work. There’s a sensitivity for the objects, mostly flora, in her work, with the grouping, separation, and isolation of objects creating lyrical and dreamlike compositions.
Sue received a BA (Hons) Fine Art from Canterbury College of Art, and went on to complete an MA in Fine Art in Cardiff College of Art. She was Senior Lecturer, Fine Art, Cardiff Metropolitan University for over 27 years. She has exhibited widely and worked on many collaborative projects in Wales and internationally. Sue has srecently completed a residency in Japan and studied woodblock print and papermaking in India.
