New Work: Sandblasted Redwood
"7-Chakra-peoples-republic-machine-gun blues," 2009, acrylic on sandblasted redwood Currently featured in a 40th Anni. Woodstock themed show at VARGA Gallery
Michael Hunt was conceived at the
Woodstock Festival and born in 1970 in Honesdale, PA - the birthplace of the American Railroad.
His works of mixed media, photographs & sandblasted redwood paintings are Cosmic American Art - a hybrid of Pop & Folk that examines, indicts, celebrates & surrenders to the search for that mythic & ragged American Dream. It is a place somewhere out there in the postmodern mind, a rest stop halfway between the dream world & the waking life.
(Cosmic American is a phrase created by groundbreaking early 70s country rock icon Gram Parsons to describe his music, a "oneness through song")
Michael has shown his artwork in over fifty group exhibits in North America since 1999. A February 2001 exhibit at Zeke's Gallery in Montreal was his first solo show, followed by a return engagement in 2003. In November 2002, Michael's sculpture Heavenly Bestles was auctioned by Sothebys.com. He was featured on the emerging Wynwood Arts District Tour at Basel Miami in 2004. Michael shows his work at Woodstock's VARGA Gallery.
