Bryan Hunt: Flyby

The Drawing Room is pleased to present "Bryan Hunt | Flyby", an exhibition of new works focused on the expansive reach of space exploration, the study of astronomy and the structure of celestial bodies. In an installation that includes large and small paintings, wall reliefs and ceramic sculptures, Hunt’s lifelong passion for galactic inquiry is transformed into a visionary cosmology.

Stretching over four decades, Bryan Hunt’s unique studio practice has focused on our assimilation of the natural world through feats of engineering and aeronautics and the field of aesthetics. From the beginning, his sculpture has addressed the temperament and causal effects of the physical elements earth, wind, water – and our ability to navigate them through advances in industry, scholarship and technology. In earlier series that include his Airships, Waterfalls, Lakes and Monuments, the artist merged concept with form, resulting in works that move from the empirical to the mythic: Hunt’s waterfalls and quarries induce liquid into solid, floating airships hover mid-air, and cultural icons are immortalized in bronze, steel and cast aluminum. With a keen regard for the modernist and classical sculptural traditions, Hunt has cultivated his own artistic path with a fierce independence while fully engaged in the cultural dialogue of his generation.
