Artist Information
George Hunter
Welcome to the website of the Contemporary artist
George Hunter
I’m a self taught artist who lives and works in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
My view of any kind of art is that it should leave an impression,
whether it is good or bad is up to the individual.
I think my style of painting and drawing is about colours and shapes and how they interact.
I mainly paint acrylics and sometimes oils, inks, watercolours, mixed media,
aerosol spray paint plus glass paint on sheet glass.
I also draw using oil and chalk pastels plus watercolour
pencils. I use a variety of objects to paint such as blocks of wood, strips of
paper, my fingers and of course, brushes.
I always have music playing when I’m painting as it keeps me in the mood of that particular artistic piece.
My paintings and drawings are a mixture of Naive Art, Remodernist Style and Outsider Art
and I suppose I could be called an expressionist, experimental artist.
I also create scenic and abstract photographs which represent my
view of a variety of subjects plus I construct small sculptural works.
My influences are Van Gogh, the Fauvists such as Matisse, Derain and Vlaminck,
French and Nordic Impressionists namely Monet, Cezanne, Munch, Osslund and Erichsen
plus Nolde, Kalella, Klimpt, Hokusai and Hundertwasser have also had an influence on my work.
I have successfully taken part in joint exhibitions not only in my home city of
Newcastle but also London and Hong Kong. I have won various painting and
photography competitions and my images can be found on many art websites across
the world.
