Austin James Hunt (b.1996, Texas) is a Dallas based painter and photographer. He began his artistic journey as a touring photographer in the USA, Canada, and Asia — eventually landing his work at publications like Billboard. As a result of these travels, he became less interested in representative art and focused more on abstractionist work. Through years of self-teaching, Austin started exploring his own psyche in his work to understand his place in the grander scheme of the cosmos. At the same time beautiful and challenging, grand and precise, Austin's work focuses on the breaking down and reassembling of forms in unexpected, novel ways.
