Cameron Hunt NZ, b. 1990

Cameron Hunt is an adventurer.

Over the last decade, he has fluidly shifted between ideas and mediums, an approach that sees his practice range from painting, photography and sculpture, to installation, performance and videography.

Cameron's practice started with self- taught graffiti. The streets, which were the original canvas for his artistic exploits, provided daily inspiration to draw, paint and create. Navigating the shadows, graffiti allowed Cameron to capture an unexpected audience. He became respected for pushing graffiti in new stylistic and conceptual directions

Through experimentation, it has evolved into what it is now - a sophisticated, tantalising approach to pushing boundaries. He is driven by trial and error, exploring new territories in a bid to find mediums which best serve his ideas, presenting them to the viewer in immaculate ways.

Cameron's works are increasingly refined, focusing on detail and process. Influenced by post-painterly abstraction and post-vandalism aesthetics, Cameron's work negotiates personal experiences and a universal, visual language that references something urgent and primal.

He has maintained an affection for chance and chaos; his works are always accompanied by an appealing, playful energy. 

Cameron's work is held in private collections and galleries around Aotearoa New Zealand and the world. In 2020 he published Toy Stories, a memoir of his graffiti experiences and in 2021 he staged the first performance of The Go Show, a guerrilla theatre production in Wellington
