Eric Hunt

Eric Hunt has always lived in Hampshire and is largely self taught, having had an interest in art all his life.  A higher education course in Design and Technology developed his appreciation of natural lines, design, knowledge of techniques and materials and practical application of design.  His engineering background provides useful practical skills for working out his ideas in sculpture. 

His main areas of interest have been water colour painting and sculpture and he has done a number of courses in both and given private tuition in water colour painting.  He sculpts in many media, including wood, stone, plaster and ciment fondu, mainly in abstract forms.  His inspiration comes from a range of influences including natural and geometric forms and sculptors such as Barbara Hepworth and Brancusi.

He has completed and installed his first commission, called “Waves of Light”.  He is a member of Whiteley Art Society as well as Wessex Sculptors.
