John Hundt

John Hundt is a painter and collage artist whose work combines the personal effects of others—journal entries, personalized recipes, hastily written notes, stained ticket stubs, etc.—with his hand-drawn and painted images to create story lines filled with dark humor, absurdity, and insight. Current pieces are often composed of found materials from different time periods, cultures, and generations, blended into an unexpected order. This process took root when, as a four-year-old, Hundt began drawing figures, cutting them out, and storing them under his parents' bed. These early creations were the seeds of what has evolved into a language that continues to influence his work today.
