"Lyrical Signage" at Mountain Jam Nine
LYRICAL SIGNAGE is a new group of works specifically created for the Ninth Annual Mountain Jam. Rooted in the sign making techniques learned at his family’s sign company, the posters Michael Hunt has created take pieces of lyrics from this year’s lineup of musical artists and place them over distorted images of Catskill landscapes. The work will attempt to draw the viewer into the lyrics by looking at the actual words in the context of a sign and perhaps create synchronicity when read at the same moment a performer is singing them live.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Michael Hunt was conceived at the original Woodstock Festival and born in Honesdale, PA - the birthplace of the American railroad - in 1970. He currently lives and works in Woodstock, New York.
Michael is self-taught with no formal art education. His works of paintings, posters and sculptures are known as Cosmic American Art - an outsider hybrid of Pop & Folk Art - which explore the limits and myths of the American Dream. "Cosmic American" is a phrase created by groundbreaking 70s country rock icon Gram Parsons to describe his music, a "oneness through song."
His posters follow the form of the sign making process, bringing his pop culture influenced blend of text over distorted landscapes using contemporary sign making tools and materials.
After earning a B.A. in International Studies from Hofstra University, Hunt worked as a mover, truck driver, an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer in New York's Lower East Side, a mailroom supervisor at Miramax Films and for the 2000 United States Census.
Michael has shown in over fifty group shows in North America including CBGB’s 313 Gallery in New York City and the Wynwood Arts District Tour at Basel Miami 2004. Hunt's sculpture "Heavenly Beatles" was auctioned by Sotheby's.com in 2002. He successfully exhibited his work in two solo shows at Zeke's Gallery in Montreal. Michael is the 2013 Artist-in-Residence at Woodstock's Varga Gallery.
