Owain Hunt
Biography
Owain Hunt (b. 1994, Bristol) approaches portraiture as a vehicle for exploring human connection and temporal experience. His practice centres on sustained observational painting sessions that transform traditional portraiture into shared experiences of presence and contemplation. His subjects emerge from a diverse network of personal relationships, including family members, longstanding friends, and carefully selected new acquaintances.
Hunt's methodological approach emphasises direct observation, creating works that function simultaneously as documentary evidence and interpretive exploration. Through extended painting sessions, he develops portraits that transcend mere representation, becoming investigations of presence, memory, and temporal experience. His paintings emerge as complex documents of specific moments, combining technical precision with emotional resonance.
