Summer Exhibition 2009

Kate hunt

Kate Hunt studied fine art painting at Chelsea College of Art, graduating in 2007.  Previously she worked in the film and television industry.

Her work seeks to convey a world in flux; an unstable, shifting world.

Forms are coaxed out of, rather than planted onto, the canvas. Experimentation and the manipulation of chance are important to her practice - paint is poured, near random marks made and earlier work often obscured.

Like Eagleton's interpretation of Benjamin's analysis of the Baroque  Kate's images seem "far from being hierarchically ranked" they are "piled in a seemingly haphazard way, one on the other, with no totalising aim in mind".

This process gradually suggests new forms that seem to create themselves. An image may emerge - a half-formed body, a landscape… There is a sense of boundaries melting, of forms emanating from and dissolving into nothing. 

Kate also makes installation work and her work was recently exhibited at the Arts Bar at Camberwell with Bob and Roberta Smith.
