He covers the wood panel with layers of acrylic paint, removing some layers in the process to reveal the underlying evolution of color.

His works evoke the many layers of his life. The top layer is covered with shiny resin, adding a smooth, reflective finish to the intriguing depth of his minimalist works. The harmony of the overall composition results in a cohesive visual statement. Hidden within the layers are limitless points of interest, constantly revealing new intricacies for us to discover. His works have been exhibited at galleries and art fairs internationally, including in Los Angeles, New York, Zurich, Hong Kong, and London.

Philosophy, mathematics, scientific theory, poetry, and astronomy are a few of the themes that run through his paintings, and he expresses them with unique imagery. Hunt describes his contemporary imagery as, “Chaotic order pouring from the watery depths of my unconscious”.

Ricky Hunt lives and paints in Los Angeles. A brief period of drug addiction in the 1980s 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 Basquiat, Haring, and Rothko.

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 success started with his first sold-out exhibition at Artspace Warehouse in Los Angeles in 2016, which led to an international collector base and exhibitions worldwide.
