He covers the canvas with unique imagery and geometric script, evoking many of his personal experiences. The harmony of the composition finds its way through his intricate markings in a cohesive visual landscape. Hidden within the patterns and depictions are limitless points of interest, constantly revealing new meanings for discovery.

Philosophy, mathematics, scientific theory, poetry, and astronomy are a few of the themes that run through his paintings and he expresses it with a constructed script and unique imagery. Hunt describes his contemporary text-based art, graffiti markings, and cartoon-like imagery as “chaotic order pouring from the watery depths of my unconscious”.

Ricky Hunt lives in the Los Angeles area. A brief period of drug addiction in the 1980's led to a term of incarceration for the artist. This in turn led to the discovery of his artistic talent and personal transformation through the love of art. He found inspiration in artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring.

Hunt began to teach himself to draw in 1995. Nine months later Tiger Woods’ father Earl, commissioned a pastel portrait which he described as “The best portrait of Tiger ever painted”. From this foundation grounded in traditional drawing skills, Hunt's work transformed into his contemporary painting approach seen today. His works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles and have been exhibited at galleries and art fairs internationally, including New York, Zurich, Hong Kong, and London.
