Owain Hunt (b.1994) is a British painter, based in the United Kingdom and self-taught. Hunt’s practice concerns the human condition; contemplates the transience of memory and the brevity of life itself. Working from direct observation, his work emerges from a shared, fleeting existence with his sitters. His sitters are carefully selected, to include members of his family (Hunt was born to a family of ten children), old friends and strangers. Processed through paint and contorted by fragile memories, these sitting experiences evoke reflective, often melancholic artworks.

Hunt’s work belongs to private collections in The United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Australia and the United States.
