Owain Hunt (born, 1994) is a British painter currently based in Bristol, United Kingdom. His paintings contemplate the transience of memory and life. His subjects are the meaningful people and places in his life.

Working observationally from his friends and family, every painting emerges from a shared, fleeting existence. Processed through paint and contorted by fragile memories, these experiences evoke reflective, often melancholic images.


Hunt has exhibited with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (2019, 2020, 2022), The Royal Society of British Artists (2019, 2020, 2021, 2023), The Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Prize and The ING Discerning Eye. Hunt is a member of the Contemporary British Portrait Painters. His work belongs to private collections in The United Kingdom, Canada, France, Australia and the United States.
